What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed and get close attention.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands as far as safe access allows.
Landlord roof survey in Pizien Well
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed damp or stains in top-floor flats and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on shared roofs, rented houses and gutters and downpipes alike.
In a village or hamlet like Pizien Well, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Pizien Well, a postcode does not 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.
- 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.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Older and listed buildings around Pizien Well may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Why us?
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Pizien Well
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
Look out for signs like these:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
What to check before booking
- What happens after the report arrives
- What experience they bring
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Pizien Well: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Wateringbury station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Pizien Well?
Yes. Pizien Well is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details as you book.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Pizien Well
To price your survey, we look at:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- What made you get in touch
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Pizien Well homes and their roofs
With Old Soar Manor about 3.5 miles west, Pizien Well sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For landlords with property near Wateringbury station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Wateringbury Church of England Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
