About our landlord roof survey in Knockholt Pound
With a shared roof, it’s 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. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and converted houses, and people most often book us about ceiling stains reported by tenants and damaged pots and flaunching.
Some older homes in villages like Knockholt Pound 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Knockholt Pound
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. In a place like Knockholt Pound, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Common questions in Knockholt Pound
How do I find out if my home in Knockholt Pound 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.
I let a flat near Knockholt station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is Knockholt Pound in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Knockholt Pound included.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
All our prices include VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Knockholt Pound, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- 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 loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Local roofs in Knockholt Pound
With Down House about 3.2 miles west, Knockholt Pound 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. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Katharine's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Living close to Polhill Bank is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For landlords with property near Knockholt station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
