About our landlord roof survey in Daniel's Water
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We’re frequently asked to look into cracked or lifting flashings and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on rented houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Daniel's Water 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Daniel's Water
I let a flat near Pluckley station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Daniel's Water listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The written report follows by email.
Is Daniel's Water in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Daniel's Water.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Daniel's Water
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older rural homes like those around Daniel's Water can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft 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 any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Landlord roof surveys around Daniel's Water
With Godinton House about 2 miles north-east, Daniel's Water sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you run a business near County Square, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Living close to Ashford Community Woodland is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Daniel's Water?
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.

- Cracked or lifting flashings

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
What we can’t see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Responsibility under a lease
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
