About our landlord roof survey in Snowdown
We survey let and shared roofs in Snowdown and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed ponding or splits on flat roofs and parapets and upstands in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Snowdown, 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How we price landlord roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- When you need the report by
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
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.
Questions from Snowdown
Do you cover smaller places like Snowdown?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Snowdown?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a 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.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Snowdown?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
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 when booking.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Snowdown
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. For older village homes like those around Snowdown, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Snowdown can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Snowdown
Older houses across Kent frequently 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. With Goodnestone Park about 2 miles north, Snowdown sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Snowdown station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
