What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How a landlord roof survey works in Hastingleigh
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed missing or loose roof coverings and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Hastingleigh, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Common roof problems in Hastingleigh
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Choked outlets and gutters
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Hastingleigh, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets in another room

Landlord roof surveys around Hastingleigh
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Homes near green spaces such as Spong Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Bodsham Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Useful tips for Hastingleigh property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Give residents notice before a survey
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
