How a landlord roof survey works in Colliers Green
We survey let and shared roofs in Colliers Green and across London and the South East. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. Typical surveys look at mortar falling from ridges and verges and damaged pots and flaunching, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and converted houses.
Somewhere as small as Colliers Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Colliers Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions

On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Why it is worth a survey now in Colliers Green
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Outbuildings and barns around Colliers Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Colliers Green
Is Colliers Green within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Colliers Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.

To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Colliers Green
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 4.9 miles south-west lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Colliers Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Colliers Green Church of England Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Marden station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Homes near green spaces such as The Gill can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
