Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Milebush
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
In a village or hamlet like Milebush, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Milebush: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Marden station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
How do I find out if my home in Milebush is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Do you cover Milebush for landlord roof surveys?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Milebush, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Milebush?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.

Useful tips for Milebush property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- File each roof report for future reference
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Milebush, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- An independent view of the roof
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Milebush?
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Problems we come across often include:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
The streets around a church such as St Michael and All Angels Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will the report include photos?
- How long the report takes to arrive
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Local roofs in Milebush
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.

The survey, step by step
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 get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Milebush can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
