How a landlord roof survey works in South Green
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Typical surveys look at cracked or lifting flashings and slipped or missing slates and tiles, on converted houses, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
Somewhere as small as South Green, homes are often 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

South Green homes and their roofs
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses such as Leeds Castle, about 4.4 miles south, show how far back building in the area around South Green goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you live near a park such as Stockbury Hill Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you live in an older home near St Mary Magdalene Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. We note what we see from inside.

Landlord and commercial surveys in South Green
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like South Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Booking a survey
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in South Green
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
Look out for signs like these:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaks into upper flats
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
For landlords with property near Newington station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What insurance they carry
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Which limits apply to the survey
Questions from South Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Newington station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in South Green?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is South Green in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes South Green.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
