How a landlord roof survey works in Priestwood Green
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We’re frequently asked to look into leaking joints at party walls and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on converted houses, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Priestwood 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. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Priestwood Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Questions from Priestwood Green
Will you come out to Priestwood Green?
Yes, Priestwood Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Sole Street station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Why get it checked now?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In a place like Priestwood Green, 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.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What you get with us
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- 5,000+ surveys completed

Landlord roof surveys in Priestwood Green: local notes
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses like Cobham College, about 2.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Priestwood Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building such as Culverstone Green Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to Church of Our Lady of the Meadow: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Sole Street station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
