FAQs for Horden
Do you cover smaller places like Horden?
Yes, Horden is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Marden station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.

About our landlord roof survey in Horden
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. 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 make access easier to arrange. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and cracked or lifting flashings.
In a small place like Horden, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Landlord roof surveys around Horden
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Living close to The Gill is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you look after a building like Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Marden station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

What you can safely check yourself
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere like Horden needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work

What affects the price in Horden
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- Which survey package you book
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
All our prices include VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Horden
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Why get it checked now?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why us?
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Over 20 years’ experience
