Landlord roof survey in Teasley Mead: what you get
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and damaged pots and flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Teasley Mead, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Teasley Mead
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Ashurst Kent station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Teasley Mead?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Teasley Mead homes and their roofs
With Groombridge Place about 2.4 miles south-east, Teasley Mead sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- When you need the report by
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Teasley Mead can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Teasley Mead?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
If you own a rental within reach of Ashurst Kent station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What exactly goes into their report
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. They’re checked during the survey.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, useful for planning maintenance.
