Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Marsh Green
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey rented houses, gutters and downpipes and converted houses, and people most often book us about parapets and upstands in poor repair and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped.
Some older homes in villages like Marsh Green are 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Common questions in Marsh Green
Do you cover smaller places like Marsh Green?
Yes. Marsh Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
I let a flat near Edenbridge Town station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Marsh Green?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

Advice
Common roof problems in Marsh Green
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
For an older house near a landmark like Marsh Green Mission Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Will the report include photos?
- Which limits apply to the survey
Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you’ll need to arrange it.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
