Landlord roof survey in Molash
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Molash and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses, and people most frequently book us about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Molash 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Local roofs in Molash
Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Molash. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Wye station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

What’s near Molash
We work in homes and buildings around George Inn and the streets around them. The closest station to Molash is Wye station, about 3.2 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Tower keep castle at Chilham (2.7 miles east).
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Molash, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
What we are asked to look at in Molash
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter 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.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Landlord and commercial surveys in Molash
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.

Molash questions
I let a flat near Wye station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is Molash within the area you cover?
Yes. Molash is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
