Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Maiden's Green
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
In a small place like Maiden's Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Advice
Questions from Maiden's Green
I let a flat near Martins Heron station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Maiden's Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.

Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
What does a roof survey cost?

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Maiden's Green
Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill, about 3 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Maiden's Green goes. 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Martins Heron station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Give residents notice before a survey
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Common roof problems in Maiden's Green
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Choked outlets and gutters
For businesses in and around places such as The Lexicon, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What insurance they carry
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
