About our landlord roof survey in Postling Green
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Postling Green and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a report with photos. We survey blocks of flats, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are worn ridges, hips and verges and leaking joints at party walls.
Older buildings in small places like Postling Green 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Postling Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Related advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Postling Green?
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Problems we come across often include:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Flashings that have come away
If you live in an older home near Church of St Martin, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Useful tips for Postling Green property owners
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In a small place like Postling Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Landlord roof surveys in Postling Green: local notes
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Postling Green, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung 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.
If you live near a park such as Poulton Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. With Westenhanger Castle about 3.2 miles east, the area around Postling Green has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Postling Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Postling Green: your questions answered
Is the coastal weather around Postling Green hard on roofs?
Often, yes. Within about 5 miles of the sea, as Postling Green is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
