About our landlord roof survey in Noke Common
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and blocked gutters over flats.
Village roofs frequently 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The address and postcode of the property
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
For a price for landlord roof surveys in Noke Common, ring 07833 053749 or email us. A few details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Noke Common, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book

What this survey can’t tell you
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
Surveys for landlords and agents in Noke Common
Landlords and agents in Noke Common book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Questions from Noke Common
Will you come out to Noke Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is my home in Noke Common 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’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it’s a roof survey. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Landlord roof surveys around Noke Common
Noke Common lies within about 3 miles of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. A number of the island’s villages keep thatched roofs on older buildings, and sea air and wind reach every part of the island. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Homes near green spaces like Seaclose Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you look after a building like Hunnyhill Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church like Church of St. John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
