Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Woolage Village
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Typical surveys look at worn ridges, hips and verges and ceiling stains reported by tenants, across shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
Older buildings in small places like Woolage Village may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Woolage Village
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Roof area
- Height and safe access
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- What made you get in touch
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
What this survey cannot tell you
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Woolage Village needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Booking a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Common questions in Woolage Village
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woolage Village?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
I let a flat near Snowdown station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Do you work in Woolage Village?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Woolage Village included.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Woolage Village
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 2.8 miles north-east lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Woolage Village has been built on. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Margaret: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Woolage Village is about 6 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it is safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
When to book a survey in Woolage Village
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If you own a rental within reach of Snowdown station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What happens after the report arrives
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
Why it is worth a survey now in Woolage Village
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. Outbuildings and barns around Woolage Village are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
