Signs you need a landlord roof survey in St Ann's Green
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
For any home in St Ann's Green, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

About our landlord roof survey in St Ann's Green
We survey let and shared roofs in St Ann's Green and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you are worried about blocked gutters over flats and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in St Ann's Green
I let a flat near Marden station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like St Ann's Green?
Yes, St Ann's Green is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Responsibility under a lease
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.

Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in St Ann's Green
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Older houses across Kent often 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Marden station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like St Ann's Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
