About our landlord roof survey in Hassell Street
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and blocked gutters over flats.
Older buildings in small places like Hassell Street may be 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.

If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.

Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Height and safe access
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- House, block, shop or office
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
We will usually ask about:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What made you get in touch
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Hassell Street
Landlords, agents and building managers in Hassell Street and across Kent can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Hassell Street, 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 the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Hassell Street
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wye School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Hassell Street is about 6 miles north-east of Ashford, in Kent.

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it’s safe to see them.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to, and the report says what was seen.
What this survey cannot tell you
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits

Common roof problems in Hassell Street
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Flashings that have come away
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Landlords with a home close to Wye 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
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Are they insured for the work?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What follow-up you get after the report
