About our landlord roof survey in Tyler Hill
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We are often asked to look into standing water on a flat roof and loose ridge or hip tiles, across rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Tyler Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey

Why it’s worth a survey now in Tyler Hill
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. In a place like Tyler Hill, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Tyler Hill: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Tyler Hill?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows, and Tyler Hill is within about 4 miles of the coast.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Canterbury West station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
What does a roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Landlord roof surveys in Tyler Hill: local notes
Tyler Hill is within about 4 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Whitefriars Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Blean Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
