What this survey can’t tell you

- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Weddington
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. Common reasons to book are choked outlets and gutters and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across blocks of flats, rented houses and shared roofs.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Weddington, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Questions from Weddington
How do I find out if my home in Weddington is listed?
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.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Weddington?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Roof area
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Landlord roof surveys in Weddington: local notes
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Weddington, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. About 3.9 miles south-west lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Weddington has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Sandwich station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Weddington is about 7 miles south-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Weddington is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and South East England. Weddington is one of the towns and villages in Kent where we work. There’s also a page for Canterbury.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
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, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We record anything visible.
