How a landlord roof survey works in Wingham Green
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We are often asked to look into slipped or missing slates and tiles and damaged pots and flaunching, across converted houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
Somewhere as small as Wingham Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some 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. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wingham Green

Common questions in Wingham Green
Will you come out to Wingham Green?
Yes, Wingham Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Adisham station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Wingham Green
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 2.1 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Wingham Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Adisham station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wingham Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Why act early in Wingham Green
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. In a small place like Wingham Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Wingham Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
