Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wouldham
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Some older homes in villages like Wouldham are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Landlord roof surveys around Wouldham
The wider area around Wouldham has a long history of building, with Starkey Castle about 0.9 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Shop and office owners around Pentagon Shopping Centre may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Landlords with a home close to Halling station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Why get it checked now?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. In a small place like Wouldham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it is safe looking for water marks and gaps.
The survey, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Wouldham, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Questions from Wouldham
Will you come out to Wouldham?
Yes, Wouldham is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Halling station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
