What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Kent Street, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Kent Street
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and people most frequently book us about mortar falling from ridges and verges and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
Some older homes in villages like Kent 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Can a landlord with a rental near Wateringbury station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Kent Street
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Old Soar Manor about 2.8 miles west, Kent Street sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Living close to Manor Park Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Landlords with a home close to Wateringbury station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For an older house near a landmark like St Lawrence's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Kent Street is about 6 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. We cover Kent Street and the rest of Kent. We cover towns and villages across Kent. We also survey roofs in Maidstone.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. Around Kent Street, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
