Do you need a roof survey in Stone?
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead is not unusual either, as thieves target it.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Loose chimney pots
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
With Hall Place and Gardens about 4.8 miles west, the area around Stone has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which limits apply to the survey
About our roof survey in Stone
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey lead flashings, chimney stacks and natural slate, and people most often book us about crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and leaking gutter joints and downpipes.
Around Stone, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Stone
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. A visit to Stone is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- 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
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
Prices for roof surveys in Stone
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)

Stone questions
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Stone, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Can a landlord with a rental near Stone Crossing station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Do you work in Stone?
Yes, we do. Stone is part of the area we cover.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Stone?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Stone
Stone is within about 5 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you let a flat or house near Stone Crossing station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Living close to Darenth Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
