Landlord roof survey in Queen Street
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Queen Street and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey blocks of flats, rented houses and converted houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
Some older homes in villages like Queen Street 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 frequently expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Queen Street
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Roof area
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Questions from Queen Street
Is Queen Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Queen Street 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 you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Paddock Wood station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
Landlord roof surveys around Queen Street
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
Trees in and around Foal Hurst Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. If you own a rental within reach of Paddock Wood station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a building such as Paddock Wood Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Queen Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

- Responsibility under a lease
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Deal with urgent items first
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
