Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in North Halling
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the loft space where there is safe access. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates and tiles and ponding or splits on flat roofs, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like North Halling, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like North Halling can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property

Landlord roof surveys around North Halling
With Starkey Castle about 0.6 miles east, North Halling sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is 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. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Shop and office owners around Pentagon Shopping Centre may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Cuxton Community Infant School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. For older village homes like those around North Halling, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

FAQs for North Halling
Is my home in North Halling listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is North Halling within the area you cover?
Yes, North Halling is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
