Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Stone Hill
I let a flat near Westenhanger station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
How do I find out if my home in Stone Hill is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How do I book a survey in Stone Hill?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Landlord roof survey in Stone Hill
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photographs that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped.
Older buildings in small places like Stone Hill may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Stone Hill homes and their roofs
Stone Hill is within about 5 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Westenhanger Castle, about 2.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stone Hill. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Sellindge Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Westenhanger station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Stone Hill is about 5 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. If you’re in Stone Hill, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our area takes in places right across Kent, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Stone Hill
Landlords and letting agents in Stone Hill book surveys as well as householders. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Responsibility under a lease
- A full structural assessment of the building
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Stone Hill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
