Landlord roof survey in Northfleet Green: what you get
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed mortar falling from ridges and verges and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and converted houses alike.
Somewhere as small as Northfleet Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Northfleet Green
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the roof
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Landlord roof surveys in Northfleet Green: local notes
Northfleet Green is within about 4 miles of the coast, so there is 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, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Historic houses such as Cobham College, about 3.2 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Northfleet Green goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Ebbsfleet International station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live near a park such as Castle Hill Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

Useful tips for Northfleet Green property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Ask residents to report damp right away
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Northfleet Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Getting a price
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Common questions in Northfleet Green
How do I find out if my home in Northfleet Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is the coastal weather around Northfleet Green hard on roofs?
Frequently, yes. Within about 4 miles of the sea, as Northfleet Green is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
How much time does the visit need?
It typically takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access as you book.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Responsibility under a lease
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. For an older or listed building in a place like Northfleet Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
