How a landlord roof survey works in Sinkhurst Green
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. We survey converted houses, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are mortar falling from ridges and verges and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
Somewhere as small as Sinkhurst Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

Landlord roof surveys in Sinkhurst Green: local notes
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a building like Frittenden Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Headcorn station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Sinkhurst Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Sinkhurst Green is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The written report follows by email.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Sinkhurst Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
