About our landlord roof survey in Statenborough
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. If you’re worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Statenborough, 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there is safe access looking for water marks and gaps.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Statenborough: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Statenborough?
Often, yes. Statenborough is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Will you come out to Statenborough?
Yes, Statenborough is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Statenborough 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.
- 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.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

What a landlord roof survey does not cover

- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)

Landlord roof surveys around Statenborough
Statenborough lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Goodnestone Park, about 4.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Statenborough. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Living close to Ham Fen is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. Landlords with a home close to Sandwich station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you look after a building such as Sandwich Technology School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
