Pre-purchase roof survey in Crockhurst Street
Our packages start with the Basic Survey from £150, while Standard starts from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT. Standard adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and an in-person consultation. Choose the level that suits the home you are buying. All three include a written report with photos and recommendations. We survey the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are quick fixes on flashings and valleys and standing water on a flat extension roof.
Being in a small place like Crockhurst Street makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Local roofs and buyers in Crockhurst Street
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. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. Landlords with a home close to Tonbridge station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Crockhurst Street: your questions answered
Will you come out to Crockhurst Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is Crockhurst Street in the area you cover?
Yes, Crockhurst Street is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Should I get a roof survey as well as a RICS home survey?
That depends on how much you want to know about the roof. A home survey may recommend further investigation of the roof, and our survey gives you that closer look. It isn’t a replacement for a RICS survey.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Does your survey replace a RICS home survey?
No. We survey the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS home survey. It works alongside a home survey.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Crockhurst Street can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You get in touch after your offer is agreed, with the address and your target exchange date.
- We arrange access with you, the agent or the seller.
- We look at the roof from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Each part of the roof is examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations to read before exchange.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Why act early in Crockhurst Street
After exchange, any roof defect is yours to deal with. Before then, you can still ask questions, ask for work to be done or reconsider. A survey after you’ve moved in tells you the same things, but with far less room to act on them. In a small place like Crockhurst Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
