Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Landlord roof survey in Stone Corner: what you get
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and rented houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and loose ridge or hip tiles.
In a small place like Stone Corner, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Stone Corner
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses such as Smallhythe Place, about 1.4 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Stone Corner goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Landlords with a home close to Appledore (Kent) station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Why act early in Stone Corner
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Stone Corner: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Corner?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stone Corner?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
That depends on the layout. Often we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed when booking.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. The lease normally decides who is responsible, and that is a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.

What else we do in Stone Corner
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we check them closely.
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can safely be seen.
How we price landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The size of the roof
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The shape of the roof and its details
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
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, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Stone Corner, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know about parking near the property
