Landlord Roof Survey in Felderland
A careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Felderland, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Felderland can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

About our landlord roof survey in Felderland
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a photo-illustrated written report that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We are frequently asked to look into cracked or leaning shared chimneys and mortar falling from ridges and verges, across gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and rented houses.
In a village or hamlet like Felderland, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often 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 receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Landlord roof surveys around Felderland
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Felderland, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. The wider area around Felderland has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 4.7 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you own a rental within reach of Sandwich station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you look after a building like Sandwich Technology School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The size of the roof
- The shape of the roof and its details
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Why act early in Felderland
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Older and listed buildings around Felderland may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it is safe looking for water marks and gaps.
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes where they can be seen.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Felderland?
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaks into upper flats
Living close to Ham Fen is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
