About our roof survey in Stone Corner
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about leaning or weathered chimney stacks and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Stone Corner 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 often matched when work is done.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
- Height and safe access
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Signs you need a roof survey in Stone Corner
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.
Common reasons to book include:
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their insurance cover
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. For an older or listed building in a place like Stone Corner, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Stone Corner can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Stone Corner
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.

Stone Corner: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Corner?
Yes. Stone Corner is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are looked at from your side.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s emailed to you.
What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A full building survey of the property
