Landlord roof survey in Parker's Green
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays which can help when arranging access with residents. Common reasons to book are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damaged pots and flaunching, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and converted houses.
Some older homes in villages like Parker's Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
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.

Landlord roof surveys around Parker's Green
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 3.4 miles north lies Old Soar Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Parker's Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Tonbridge station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near St Andrew, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

When you need someone else
A survey is a proper look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Responsibility under a lease
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
Roofs we survey in Parker's Green
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
When to book a survey in Parker's Green
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Take a building like Woodlands Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What the survey will not cover
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Parker's Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Advice
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Parker's Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Parker's Green is listed?
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.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Tonbridge station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Parker's Green?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
