Hilden Park Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Hilden Park, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Standing water on a flat roof
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
About our landlord roof survey in Hilden Park
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. If you’ve noticed cracked or lifting flashings and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses alike.
Older buildings in small places like Hilden Park 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Hilden Park, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
Hilden Park: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Hilden Park is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Hilden Park?
Yes, Hilden Park is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Hilden Park?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Trees in and around Haysden Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
What to check before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the survey will not cover
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Landlord roof surveys around Hilden Park
About 3.4 miles north lies Ightham Mote, a reminder of how long the area around Hilden Park has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For an older house near a landmark like Parish Church of St John, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Hildenborough station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
