Questions from Newland Green
Do you cover smaller places like Newland Green?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is my home in Newland Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in so please give residents notice.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you look in the loft space?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Newland Green
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition 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. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We’re often asked to look into failed flashings at walls and chimneys and missing or loose roof coverings, across blocks of flats, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
Older buildings in small places like Newland Green 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Landlord roof surveys around Newland Green
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church such as Church of St James are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like Egerton Church of England Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Newland Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will 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.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
We will normally ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Anything about access we should know
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Newland Green
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Landlords with a home close to Pluckley station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
