Landlord roof survey in Wilsley Green: 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, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damp or stains in top-floor flats and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
In a small place like Wilsley Green, many roofs stand in the open, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wilsley Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book.

The survey, step by step

- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.

Advice
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Wilsley Green
Will you come out to Wilsley Green?
Yes, Wilsley Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Staplehurst station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Landlord roof surveys around Wilsley Green
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For landlords with property near Staplehurst station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building like Cranbrook Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Roofs we survey in Wilsley Green
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
What we are asked to look at in Wilsley Green
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Dunstan, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
