DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Landlord roof survey in Crockham Hill
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates and tiles and chimney stacks in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Crockham Hill, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give residents notice before a survey
You receive a report with photos and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Crockham Hill, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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 roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Crockham Hill
Across Kent, older roofs are often 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses such as Chartwell, about 1 mile north-east, show how far back building in the area around Crockham Hill goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Holy Trinity Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Edenbridge station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
