Landlord and commercial surveys in Hammill Park
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
How a landlord roof survey works in Hammill Park
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and cracked or lifting flashings.
Some older homes in villages like Hammill Park 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. 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: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Hammill Park: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hammill Park?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Hammill Park within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in so please give residents notice.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it is a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
When to book a survey in Hammill Park
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eastry Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- What the survey won’t cover
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Useful tips for Hammill Park property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Give residents notice before a survey
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the exact price before you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
How the survey works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Hammill Park, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- 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 safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it’s safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Landlord roof surveys around Hammill Park
With Goodnestone Park about 2.6 miles west, Hammill Park 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
