About our landlord roof survey in Green Street
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We’re often asked to look into leaking joints at party walls and chimney stacks in poor repair, on rented houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Some older homes in villages like Green Street are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What else we do in Green Street
Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Green Street questions
Is the coastal weather around Green Street hard on roofs?
It can do. Green Street is within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Is Green Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Green Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Green Street?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
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 we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Green Street can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

Useful tips for Green Street property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Deal with urgent items first
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Green Street homes and their roofs
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Green Street, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. With Durhamford Manor about 4.4 miles north, Green Street sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Trees in and around Filsham Reedbed shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For landlords with property near Crowhurst station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaks into upper flats
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Crowhurst CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
