How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Sharnal Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- 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.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sharnal Street
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Typical surveys look at standing water on a flat roof and parapets and upstands in poor repair, on gutters and downpipes, rented houses and blocks of flats.
In a small place like Sharnal Street, 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 often the first to give way.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Sharnal Street: your questions answered

Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Sharnal Street listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.

It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Sharnal Street?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What we’re asked to look at in Sharnal Street
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you own a rental within reach of Gillingham (Kent) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

Local roofs in Sharnal Street
Sharnal Street is within about 2 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. With Restoration House about 4.9 miles south-west, Sharnal Street sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building such as High Halstow Primary Academy, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Why get it checked now?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Sharnal Street, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
