Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Landlord roof survey in East Stourmouth: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey rented houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are chimney stacks in poor repair and ponding or splits on flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like East Stourmouth 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like East Stourmouth, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in East Stourmouth
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Trees in and around Grove Ferry Picnic Area shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their insurance cover
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How soon the report will arrive
Landlord roof surveys around East Stourmouth
East Stourmouth lies within about 5 miles of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Historic houses like Quex Park, about 4.7 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around East Stourmouth goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Minster station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. The streets around a church such as All Saints Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
