What happens if roof problems are left?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. In a small place like Sevington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Sevington
- Packages from £150, with VAT included
- More than 5,000 surveys completed

Landlord roof survey in Sevington: what you get
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We are often asked to look into cracked or lifting flashings and choked outlets and gutters, on converted houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats.
In a small place like Sevington, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Sevington?
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Landlords with a home close to Ashford International station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Landlord roof surveys in Sevington: local notes
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Godinton House about 3.9 miles north-west, Sevington sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like Willesborough Junior School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

FAQs for Sevington
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sevington?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Sevington can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
