Why act early in Mystole
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. For an older or listed building in a place like Mystole, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mystole
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We’re often asked to look into parapets and upstands in poor repair and flashings that have come away, across converted houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Mystole 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. 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. What our survey covers.

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. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey normally takes an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Mystole, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- 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 we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Common questions in Mystole
Is Mystole within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Mystole is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it’s a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Landlord roof surveys in Mystole: local notes
Older houses across Kent often 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. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you live near a park such as Broadham Down, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Chartham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
