About our landlord roof survey in Eridge Green
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. Common reasons to book are loose ridge or hip tiles and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Eridge Green 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Landlord roof surveys around Eridge Green
About 1.9 miles north-west lies Groombridge Place, a reminder of how long the area around Eridge Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you let a flat or house near Eridge station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Check the loft space can be accessed

- Deal with urgent items first
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Eridge Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Eridge Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

FAQs for Eridge Green
Is Eridge Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Eridge station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Eridge Green?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Flashings that have come away
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Corn Exchange, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Their insurance cover
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. They’re an important part of the survey.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can be seen safely.
