Landlord roof survey in Wingham Well: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Wingham Well and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We survey converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged pots and flaunching and choked outlets and gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Wingham Well are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes where they can be seen.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Wingham Well often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Landlord roof surveys in Wingham Well: local notes
Goodnestone Park, about 1.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wingham Well. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take a building like Wingham Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Wingham Well questions
Is Wingham Well within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Wingham Well is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we’ll say so.
Who normally books a landlord or block roof survey?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Useful tips for Wingham Well property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
