About our landlord roof survey in Stick Hill
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We are often asked to look into blocked gutters over flats and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and rented houses.
Some older homes in villages like Stick Hill are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we’re asked to look at in Stick Hill
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Their insurance cover
- What exactly goes into their report
- How soon the report will arrive
Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Stick Hill
With Hever Castle about 1.5 miles north-east, Stick Hill sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near Hever station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Useful tips for Stick Hill property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Deal with urgent items first
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Questions from Stick Hill
Will you come out to Stick Hill?

I let a flat near Hever station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Stick Hill?

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s 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.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. For older village homes like those around Stick Hill, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Stick Hill, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
