Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Well Head
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses, and people most often book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and choked outlets and gutters.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Well Head
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Well Head has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 1.6 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Landlords with a home close to Adisham station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take a building like Wingham Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Well Head needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.

Questions from Well Head
Can a landlord with a rental near Adisham station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Well Head within the area you cover?
Yes, Well Head is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report follows by email.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
