Landlord roof survey in Strood
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. Typical surveys look at cracked or leaning shared chimneys and cracked or lifting flashings, across rented houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
In a small place like Strood, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Strood can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Arrange a survey
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

What affects the price in Strood
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Which survey package you book
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Why act early in Strood
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Outbuildings and barns around Strood are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Why book us in Strood
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Strood
About 2.6 miles south-east lies Smallhythe Place, a reminder of how long the area around Strood has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like Rolvenden Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Trees in and around Turners Field shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mary: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Questions from Strood
How do I find out if my home in Strood is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Strood?
Yes, Strood is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
