Landlord roof survey in Well Street: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Common reasons to book are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and leaks into upper flats, on blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
In a small place like Well Street, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Questions from Well Street
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near East Malling station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Is Well Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Well Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we’ll say so.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Well Street frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Anything about access we should know
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Well Street
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Cracked or lifting flashings
For landlords with property near East Malling station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Local roofs in Well Street
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Old Soar Manor about 4.9 miles west, Well Street sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building such as The Malling School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Living close to Manor Park Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you will need to arrange it.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
