Landlord roof survey in Oad Street
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
In a village or hamlet like Oad Street, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Around Oad Street, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and our case studies.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Oad Street?
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Flashings that have come away
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaking joints at party walls
If you let a flat or house near Newington station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Oad Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- 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.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
Oad Street questions
Do you cover smaller places like Oad Street?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Newington station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How do I book a survey in Oad Street?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.

When you call or email, these details help:
- The property’s address and postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat

Landlord roof surveys around Oad Street
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Oad Street, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Anyone responsible for a site like Borden Church of England Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
