Stones Green homes and their roofs
Stones Green lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. The wider area around Stones Green has a long history of building, with Thorpe Hall about 3.3 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Wrabness station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building like Wix and Wrabness Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Landlord roof survey in Stones Green: what you get
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Some older homes in villages like Stones Green are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Stones Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. For older village homes like those around Stones Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we will tell you which fits.

How we price landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Height and safe access
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Stones Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stones Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Stones Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed as you book.
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
