Landlord roof survey in Crockhurst Street, Kent
Find out what’s going on with the let or shared roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Crockhurst Street.
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- File each roof report for future reference
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
About our landlord roof survey in Crockhurst Street
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week, which can make access easier to arrange. Common reasons to book are mortar falling from ridges and verges and ponding or splits on flat roofs, across blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Crockhurst Street may be 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
Getting in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Crockhurst Street, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Questions from Crockhurst Street
How do I find out if my home in Crockhurst Street is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can a landlord with a rental near Tonbridge station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Is Crockhurst Street in your area?
Yes. We cover Crockhurst Street and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Crockhurst Street
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
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.
When to book a survey in Crockhurst Street
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Common reasons to book include:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Capel Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Crockhurst Street homes and their roofs
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Tonbridge station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
