Little Conghurst questions
Is Little Conghurst within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little Conghurst?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How a landlord roof survey works in Little Conghurst
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates and tiles and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
In a village or hamlet like Little Conghurst, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. For older village homes like those around Little Conghurst, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to tell us when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before you book.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it is safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Little Conghurst, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- 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.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Little Conghurst homes and their roofs
With Great Dixter about 3.9 miles south-east, Little Conghurst sits in an area with a long building history. 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. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live near a park like Collingwood Nature Reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hawkhurst 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 Etchingham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
