Landlord roof survey in Street End, Kent
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for Street End, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Flashings that have come away
How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. They’re an important part of the survey.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
About our landlord roof survey in Street End
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about gutters overflowing onto walls and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Some older homes in villages like Street End are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Street End, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Street End
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For businesses in and around places like Whitefriars Shopping Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you own a rental within reach of Canterbury East station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Tips that help
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
