Cliffs End Landlord Roof Survey
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Cliffs End, and put it all in a written report with photographs.
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Cliffs End often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Tell us about parking before the day

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cliffs End
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’re worried about chimney stacks in poor repair and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Cliffs End are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. 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.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Questions from Cliffs End
I let a flat near Thanet Parkway station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Will you come out to Cliffs End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Cliffs End
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Cliffs End, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. With Quex Park about 3.2 miles north-west, Cliffs End sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Westwood Cross, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. If you let a flat or house near Thanet Parkway station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Older and listed buildings around Cliffs End may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
Useful tips for Cliffs End property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
When to book a survey in Cliffs End
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Chilton Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How long the report takes to arrive
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
