What happens if roof problems are left?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without one, it is guesswork from the ground. Around Hall's Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Hall's Green
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t and that typically means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. If you’re worried about brackets that have dropped or snapped and rotten fascias or stained soffits, we can find out what’s behind it, on valley gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits alike.
Somewhere as small as Hall's Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Hall's Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Surveys for landlords and agents in Hall's Green
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
What we look for on each type of roof
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley and is easy to overlook. We check what’s visible and note what isn’t.
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron tends to fail at the joints and fixings. We note corrosion, cracks and leaking joints as far as we can see them.
Local roofs in Hall's Green
The wider area around Hall's Green has a long history of building, with Knole House about 3.1 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building such as Weald Community Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to Church of St George: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Homes near green spaces such as Bough Beech Reservoir can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
