How a landlord roof survey works in Moor Street
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Moor Street homes and their roofs
Moor Street is within about 3 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
If you let a flat or house near Rainham (Kent) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Trees in and around Berengrave Chalk Pit shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Moor Street
Is my home in Moor Street listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
I let a flat near Rainham (Kent) station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Moor Street, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey

Common roof problems in Moor Street
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Look out for signs like these:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Take an older house close to Church of St Margaret: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you get a written report with photos
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
