Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Goddard's Green
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates and tiles and flashings that have come away.
Somewhere as small as Goddard's Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some 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. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Goddard's Green
Is my home in Goddard's Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Goddard's Green?
Yes, Goddard's Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we’ll say so.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease and we do not give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected where they can be seen.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Goddard's Green?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, especially on taller buildings.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Choked outlets and gutters
Landlords with a home close to Mortimer station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What happens after the report arrives
- What the survey won’t cover
- Their drone registration, if they fly one

Goddard's Green homes and their roofs
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House, about 3.7 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Goddard's Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Anyone responsible for a site like Garland Junior School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What happens if roof problems are left?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. In a place like Goddard's Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

To get a price for landlord roof surveys in Goddard's Green, phone 07833 053749 or email us. Some details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Goddard's Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets in another room
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
