Landlord roof survey in Temple Hill
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gutters overflowing onto walls and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
In a smaller place like Temple Hill, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Questions from Temple Hill
Is my home in Temple Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.

All our prices include VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Temple Hill
With Hall Place and Gardens about 2.8 miles west, Temple Hill sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Dartford station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live near a park such as Central Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Temple Hill?
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Common reasons to book include:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damaged pots and flaunching
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Temple Hill Primary Academy, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

- What experience they bring
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a smaller place like Temple Hill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
