Landlord Roof Survey in Stoneyhills
Find out the condition of the let or shared roof at your property in Stoneyhills. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Landlord roof survey in Stoneyhills
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. If you’ve noticed ponding or splits on flat roofs and ceiling stains reported by tenants, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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 works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Why it is worth a survey now in Stoneyhills
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 Stoneyhills, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Stoneyhills needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Stoneyhills questions
Will you come out to Stoneyhills?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Burnham-On-Crouch station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Stoneyhills?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Stoneyhills
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Stoneyhills, 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, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a building such as Ormiston Rivers Academy, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Burnham-On-Crouch station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
