Landlord roof surveys around Curteis' Corner
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Headcorn station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like John Mayne Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

How a landlord roof survey works in Curteis' Corner
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Curteis' Corner and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photographs. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are mortar falling from ridges and verges and leaking joints at party walls.
Somewhere as small as Curteis' Corner, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Curteis' Corner can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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 ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

DIY checks: what’s safe
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.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Curteis' Corner questions
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover smaller places like Curteis' Corner?
Yes, Curteis' Corner is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Give residents notice before a survey
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Legal advice on leases or service charges

- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses

Why get it checked now?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Outbuildings and barns around Curteis' Corner 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.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
