Landlord roof survey in Middle Stoke
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. Typical surveys look at choked outlets and gutters and flashings that have come away, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Middle Stoke 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Middle Stoke: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Middle Stoke?
Yes. Middle Stoke is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Middle Stoke?
Often, yes. Within about 1 mile of the sea, as Middle Stoke is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
Who normally books a landlord or block roof survey?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs. As for time on site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Middle Stoke, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Local roofs in Middle Stoke
Middle Stoke lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a building such as Stoke Primary Academy, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Middle Stoke is about 6 miles south-east of Canvey Island, in Medway. Middle Stoke gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful look at what can be seen safely, photos and a clear written report. Middle Stoke is one of the towns and villages in Medway we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Maidstone page.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
Why act early in Middle Stoke
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Outbuildings and barns around Middle Stoke are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
