What we look for on each type of roof

Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you’ll need to arrange it.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mowshurst
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’re worried about damp or stains in top-floor flats and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Mowshurst?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Missing or loose roof coverings
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What the survey will not cover
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Landlord roof surveys around Mowshurst
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 2.3 miles south-east lies Hever Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Mowshurst has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you let a flat or house near Edenbridge station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building like Edenbridge Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Rural addresses near Mowshurst can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Mowshurst: your questions answered
Is Mowshurst within the area you cover?
Yes, Mowshurst is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can a landlord with a rental near Edenbridge station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How do I book a survey in Mowshurst?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. For older village homes like those around Mowshurst, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
