A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. In a place like Pembles Cross, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Surveys seven days a week

How a landlord roof survey works in Pembles Cross
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings that have come away and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Pembles Cross may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Pembles Cross
Do you cover smaller places like Pembles Cross?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Lenham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we’ll say so.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is

- Legal advice on leases or service charges

Landlord roof surveys around Pembles Cross
The wider area around Pembles Cross has a long history of building, with Leeds Castle about 5 miles north-west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Egerton Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church such as Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For landlords with property near Lenham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Pembles Cross, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, 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 start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- 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.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
