Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Monk's Hill
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. If you are worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Monk's Hill, 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
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.

What else we do in Monk's Hill
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Ask residents to report damp right away
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The size of the roof
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What this survey cannot tell you
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Monk's Hill
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Monk's Hill, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Landlord roof surveys around Monk's Hill
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you own a rental within reach of Headcorn station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Michael, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Smarden Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there’s safe access looking for water marks and gaps.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
