Landlord roof survey in Peene
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’re worried about mortar falling from ridges and verges and damp or stains in top-floor flats, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Peene are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Peene
Is Peene within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Peene, take more of a battering?
It can do. Peene is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it is a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
That depends on the layout. Frequently we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We’ll confirm what we need as you book.
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Peene
Peene is within about 2 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. With Acrise Place about 2.7 miles north, Peene sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Nicholas, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a building such as Cheriton Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Folkestone West station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Peene is about 2 miles north-west of Folkestone, in Kent. We survey roofs in Peene and the surrounding area across London and South East England. Our Kent coverage includes Peene and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Canterbury.

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. We note what we can see.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
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.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What affects the price in Peene
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Peene needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
