How a landlord roof survey works in Stone Cross
We survey let and shared roofs in Stone Cross and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photographs. We are frequently asked to look into damp or stains in top-floor flats and gutters overflowing onto walls, across shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks.
Somewhere as small as Stone Cross, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Landlord roof surveys in Stone Cross: local notes
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you own a rental within reach of Ham Street station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you run a business near Ashford Designer Outlet, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Stone Cross is about 4 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. Whether the building in Stone Cross is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof. Our Kent coverage includes Stone Cross. There’s also a page for Canterbury.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Stone Cross, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Related advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Stone Cross?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Common reasons to book include:
- Flashings that have come away
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you live near a park such as Poulton Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
