About our landlord roof survey in Radfield
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey converted houses, rented houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are missing or loose roof coverings and leaks into upper flats.
Older buildings in small places like Radfield 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
Honest limits
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Responsibility under a lease
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Shared roofs

What happens if roof problems are left?
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. Outbuildings and barns around Radfield are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Radfield homes and their roofs
Radfield lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.9 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Radfield goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Anyone responsible for a site like Teynham Parochial 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.
Radfield is about 2 miles east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We survey roofs in Radfield and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and South East England. Across Kent, we cover Radfield and the places around it. Our Maidstone page covers surveys nearby.

Around Radfield
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Sittingbourne Community College and Fox pub and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Teynham station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Bayford Court (2 miles north-west) and Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (1.9 miles west).
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Radfield, 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 with what you know about the building and its history.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
Common questions in Radfield
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Radfield?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
I let a flat near Teynham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
