Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Park Wood
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. Your agent or you arrange access and we’ll say what we need when you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cracked or lifting flashings and leaking joints at party walls.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Park Wood drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Park Wood questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Park Wood?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Park Wood within the area you cover?
Yes, Park Wood is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How much time does the visit need?
It usually takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We will give you an idea when booking.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
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.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We record anything visible.
Why it is worth a survey now in Park Wood
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Park Wood, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like Park Wood does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- 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.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Park Wood?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
If you live in an older home near St Martin's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before booking anyone
- Will the report include photos?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
Landlord roof surveys around Park Wood
With Stoneacre about 1.3 miles north-east, Park Wood sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. 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. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Living close to Mote Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you look after a building such as Tree Tops Primary Academy, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
