Why get it checked now?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. In a small place like Sevenscore, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Landlord roof survey in Sevenscore
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. If you’ve noticed gutters overflowing onto walls and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Some older homes in villages like Sevenscore are 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 such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The Standard Survey adds 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.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Sevenscore, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Which survey package you book
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Height and safe access
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:

- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Sevenscore
Sevenscore is within about 2 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. Quex Park, about 2.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sevenscore. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
The streets around a church like St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Homes near green spaces such as Sandwich and Pegwell Bay can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Thanet Parkway station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
