Why get it checked now?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. Outbuildings and barns around Tutt Hill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

How a landlord roof survey works in Tutt Hill
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
In a village or hamlet like Tutt Hill, 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we cannot see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it

Questions from Tutt Hill
I let a flat near Charing 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.
Is my home in Tutt Hill listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we’ll say so.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Tutt Hill can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. 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.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Ask residents to report damp right away
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Tutt Hill
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses like Godinton House, about 1.8 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Tutt Hill goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Charing station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For businesses in and around places like County Square, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like The Hayesbrook School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you will need to arrange it.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
