Landlord roof survey in Leigh Green: what you get
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you are worried about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Leigh Green may be 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What else we do in Leigh Green
Useful tips for Leigh Green property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Leigh Green
I let a flat near Appledore (Kent) station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Leigh Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Leigh Green?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Is Leigh Green in your area?
Yes. Leigh Green is part of the area we cover.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report. On timing, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Leigh Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

- 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.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.

Advice
Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Leigh Green

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Leigh Green
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll 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 Smallhythe Place about 1.9 miles south, Leigh Green 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Tenterden Church of England Junior School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Appledore (Kent) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Trees in and around Turners Field shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
