How a landlord roof survey works in Tudeley
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Common reasons to book are missing or loose roof coverings and leaks into upper flats, across shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses.
In a village or hamlet like Tudeley, 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. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Tudeley
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, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Tonbridge station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take a building like The Schools at Somerhill: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Tudeley can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Check we can get to the back of the property
How to book
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Why it is worth a survey now in Tudeley
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
