About our landlord roof survey in Milton Regis
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you are worried about missing or loose roof coverings and damp or stains in top-floor flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and rented houses alike.
In a small place like Milton Regis, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What we’re asked to look at in Milton Regis
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Sunny Bank Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the survey won’t cover
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What exactly goes into their report
Milton Regis: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Milton Regis is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can a landlord with a rental near Sittingbourne station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Milton Regis
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Milton Regis, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. 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 you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Trees in and around Milton Creek Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Milton Regis
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Around Milton Regis, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Every finding written up with photos
- Prices that include VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
What this survey can’t tell you
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Milton Regis, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets in another room

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
