FAQs for Bells Yew Green
Is my home in Bells Yew Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Frant station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I book a survey in Bells Yew Green?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.

How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How a landlord roof survey works in Bells Yew Green
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. If you are worried about damp or stains in top-floor flats and blocked gutters over flats, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Bells Yew Green may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
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, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Bells Yew Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Advice
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- File each roof report for future reference
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
When to book a survey in Bells Yew Green
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaking joints at party walls
If you own a rental within reach of Frant station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their report turnaround times

What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
Landlord roof surveys in Bells Yew Green: local notes
Wadhurst Castle, about 3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bells Yew Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Shop and office owners around The Corn Exchange may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
