Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in East Street
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. Common reasons to book are leaks into upper flats and choked outlets and gutters, on blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
In a small place like East Street, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Building height and the viewpoints available
For a price for your roof in East Street, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in East Street
Is the coastal weather around East Street hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Can a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you cover East Street for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes East Street.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. They’re an important part of the survey.
Landlord roof surveys in East Street: local notes
The coast is about 4 miles or less from East Street, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. With Goodnestone Park about 4.3 miles south-west, the area around East Street has a long history. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. If you look after a building such as Sandwich Technology School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. In a small place like East Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like East Street 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 by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
