Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year

Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
About our landlord roof survey in Painters Ash
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t 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. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey converted houses, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about loose ridge or hip tiles and damaged pots and flaunching.
Houses in smaller places like Painters Ash can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How it works
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Painters Ash, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

What else we do in Painters Ash
Landlord roof surveys around Painters Ash
Painters Ash is within about 3 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. With Cobham College about 3.6 miles south-east, Painters Ash sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Living close to Castle Hill Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. If you run a business near Bluewater, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Painters Ash
I let a flat near Ebbsfleet International station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Painters Ash, take more of a battering?
Often, yes. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Painters Ash is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Painters Ash?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.

Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof.
When to book a survey in Painters Ash
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
Landlords with a home close to Ebbsfleet International station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
