Common questions in Woodhatch
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hildenborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woodhatch?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How do I book a survey in Woodhatch?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Woodhatch
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from every safe viewpoint including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and blocks of flats, and people most frequently book us about gutters overflowing onto walls and cracked or lifting flashings.
In a small place like Woodhatch, many roofs stand in the open, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Landlord roof surveys in Woodhatch: local notes
With Knole House about 3 miles north, Woodhatch sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Weald Community Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Hildenborough station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

What else we do in Woodhatch
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Woodhatch, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- You tell us 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 the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Surveys for landlords and agents in Woodhatch
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Different roofs, different checks
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
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
