Local roofs in Hinxhill Park
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses such as Godinton House, about 3.9 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Hinxhill Park goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Ashford Designer Outlet, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

About our landlord roof survey in Hinxhill Park
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and converted houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaking joints at party walls and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Some older homes in villages like Hinxhill Park are 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hinxhill Park can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

FAQs for Hinxhill Park
Will you come out to Hinxhill Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Hinxhill Park, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
