Great Mongeham Landlord Roof Survey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Great Mongeham? You can book a landlord roof survey in Great Mongeham and across Kent, with plain-English findings.
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Landlord roof survey in Great Mongeham
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We’re often asked to look into splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across rented houses, converted houses and shared roofs.
Somewhere as small as Great Mongeham, 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 frequently 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’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Great Mongeham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Leave side gates unlocked

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Great Mongeham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Great Mongeham?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Walmer station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Great Mongeham
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photographs.
Great Mongeham homes and their roofs
Great Mongeham lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. With Walmer Castle about 2 miles south-east, Great Mongeham sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live near a park like Betteshanger Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hornbeam Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What we’re asked to look at in Great Mongeham
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
If you let a flat or house near Walmer station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

- Their report turnaround times
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
