What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Pearson's Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- 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.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey

Advice
About our landlord roof survey in Pearson's Green
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access and we’ll say what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We’re often asked to look into gutters overflowing onto walls and worn ridges, hips and verges, across converted houses, blocks of flats and rented houses.
In a village or hamlet like Pearson's Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few 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.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Common roof problems in Pearson's Green
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Choked outlets and gutters
If you own a rental within reach of Paddock Wood station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What exactly goes into their report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely

Questions from Pearson's Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pearson's Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can a landlord with a rental near Paddock Wood station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
Do you cover Pearson's Green for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. We cover Pearson's Green and the rest of Kent. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Pearson's Green
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Tell tenants when we are coming
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Pearson's Green homes and their roofs
About 5 miles south lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Pearson's Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take a building like Mascalls School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
What this survey can’t tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Responsibility under a lease
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- A full structural assessment of the building
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
