Local roofs in Dunk's Green
Historic houses such as Old Soar Manor, about 0.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Dunk's Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building such as Plaxtol Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you live in an older home near Plaxtol Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Dunk's Green
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and choked outlets and gutters, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Dunk's Green, homes are frequently 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Dunk's Green?
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
Look out for signs like these:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Flashings that have come away
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before booking anyone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What experience they bring
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
For a price for your roof in Dunk's Green, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Dunk's Green questions
I let a flat near Borough Green & Wrotham station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is my home in Dunk's Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Dunk's Green in your area?
Yes. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Dunk's Green, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Dunk's Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Why act early in Dunk's Green
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Dunk's Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
