How a landlord roof survey works in Goose Green
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 roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are ponding or splits on flat roofs and chimney stacks in poor repair.
Somewhere as small as Goose Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Around Goose Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

When to book a survey in Goose Green
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Look out for signs like these:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
Landlords with a home close to Yalding station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which limits apply to the survey
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- File each roof report for future reference
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Goose Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

FAQs for Goose Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Yalding station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Goose Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Goose Green?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Landlord roof surveys in Goose Green: local notes
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 2.5 miles north-west lies Old Soar Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Goose Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Dunstan, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Hadlow Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
