Landlord roof survey in New Ash Green
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. Common reasons to book are slipped or missing slates and tiles and blocked gutters over flats, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like New Ash Green are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in New Ash Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in New Ash Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to New Ash Green?
Yes, New Ash Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
How do I book a survey in New Ash Green?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older rural homes like those around New Ash Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in New Ash Green
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. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around New Ash Green has a long history of building, with Cobham College about 4.3 miles east. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Longfield station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like New Ash Green Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you live near a park such as Rectory Meadow, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In a small place like New Ash Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
