Roof survey in Middle Stoke: what you get
We survey roofs in Middle Stoke and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. If you’ve noticed lifted, split or missing lead flashings and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Middle Stoke, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Leave roof access to professionals
We email the report to you. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.

What a roof survey looks like in Middle Stoke
Middle Stoke lies within about 1 mile of the sea, 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Stoke Primary Academy, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Middle Stoke is about 6 miles south-east of Canvey Island, in Medway. Anywhere in Middle Stoke, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our area takes in places right across Medway, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Maidstone.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Middle Stoke
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Older cottages and farmhouses around Middle Stoke can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
When to book a survey in Middle Stoke
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives

Surveys for landlords and agents in Middle Stoke

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Middle Stoke can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
