Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sundridge
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’ve noticed leaking joints at party walls and choked outlets and gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Sundridge, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. 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 often need the most attention.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can be seen safely.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Sundridge, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Sundridge
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. About 2.3 miles west lies Quebec House, a reminder of how long the area around Sundridge has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live near a park like Montreal Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For landlords with property near Dunton Green station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Anyone responsible for a site like Combe Bank School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Sundridge
Do you cover smaller places like Sundridge?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Dunton Green station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows by 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 with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.

What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Sundridge, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
