What affects the price in Golden Green

- The roof’s overall size
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

About our landlord roof survey in Golden Green
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the roof space where there is safe access. If you’ve noticed missing or loose roof coverings and damaged pots and flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Golden Green 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 often matched when work is done.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Why get it checked now?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. In a small place like Golden Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Landlord roof surveys around Golden Green
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 3.8 miles north lies Old Soar Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Golden Green has been built on. 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.
Take a building like Hadlow Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Beltring station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Golden Green Mission Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Golden Green
Is Golden Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Golden Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Golden 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’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Who usually books a landlord or block roof survey?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Golden Green?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it focuses on the roof. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Golden Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Check we can get to the back of the property
