Landlord roof survey in Warren Street: what you get
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and choked outlets and gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Warren Street, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- When you need the report by
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Warren Street
Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Warren Street. Older homes in the wider area frequently 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. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Lenham School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Living close to Spuckles and Kennelling Woods is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

When to book a survey in Warren Street
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
If you let a flat or house near Lenham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which limits apply to the survey
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Warren Street frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
Warren Street questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warren Street?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
I let a flat near Lenham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
