How a landlord roof survey works in Rodmersham Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. Common reasons to book are parapets and upstands in poor repair and worn ridges, hips and verges, on gutters and downpipes, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks.
In a small place like Rodmersham Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Rodmersham Green
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Roof area
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
We will normally ask about:
- When you need the report by
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Rodmersham Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Rodmersham Green
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Landlords with a home close to Sittingbourne station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will the report include photos?
Rodmersham Green homes and their roofs
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Rodmersham Green, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you live near a park such as Cromers Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
