About our landlord roof survey in Clement Street
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. Common reasons to book are loose ridge or hip tiles and chimney stacks in poor repair, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Clement Street are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Clement Street
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Hall Place and Gardens, about 3.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Clement Street. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you run a business near Bluewater, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take an older house close to Church of Saint Paul: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Clement Street is about 2 miles south of Dartford, in Kent. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Clement Street can all book landlord roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time. We cover towns and villages across Kent. London is in our area too.

Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Dartford Heath, Wilmington Academy and The Plough pub. For rail, the closest station is Farningham Road station, roughly 1.3 miles south-east. Nearby you’ll also find Eynsford Castle (3 miles south) and West Hill Hospital (2.2 miles north). For a walk, there is Wansunt Pit.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Clement Street can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Clement Street: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Clement Street is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Clement Street?
Yes. Clement Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. The lease usually decides who is responsible, and that’s a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Clement Street
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Common roof problems in Clement Street
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Flashings that have come away
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Anyone responsible for a site like Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we check them closely.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- A full structural assessment of the building
