Pre-Purchase Roof Survey in Stonestreet Green
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out pre-purchase roof surveys in Stonestreet Green, with photographs and a clear written report.
- Patch repairs that may hide an ongoing problem
- Blistered or split felt on a flat roof
- A ridge or slope that dips
Useful tips for Stonestreet Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Ask for any paperwork for recent roof work
- Check the lease for roof repair responsibilities
- Tell us your exchange date as you book
- Pass the findings to your conveyancer
Once the home is yours, the report becomes a maintenance list. Work through the urgent items before anything else, and keep the photographs to compare against later. The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up.
Once you’ve moved in, keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have dropped. Overflowing water is behind a lot of damp. Get a professional in rather than climbing up yourself.
Pre-purchase roof survey in Stonestreet Green: what you get
Older homes frequently have roofs that have been patched over the years. Slates slip when their nails corrode, lead valleys and flashings wear, and chimney pointing crumbles. Little of that is easy to judge from the pavement on a viewing. We look closely and record what we see, with photos that show you exactly where. We explain each finding in plain English, so it is clear what it means for your purchase. If you’ve noticed bitumen or mortar used in place of proper repairs and lead that has worked loose at a wall or chimney, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Stonestreet Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why get it checked now?
A slow leak can go unnoticed for months. By the time a stain shows, timber or plaster may already be damp. Spotting it before you buy lets you deal with it as soon as you move in. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Stonestreet Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Stonestreet Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.

- A date is booked on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.

What we’re asked to look at in Stonestreet Green
Patch repairs are common on roofs of every age. Bitumen painted over a flashing, mortar where lead should be, or a few tiles that don’t match can be signs that something has leaked before. Our report records them so you can ask the seller what was done and when.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or gone
- Lead that has worked loose at a wall or chimney
- Gutters that overflow or drip at the joints
- A ridge or slope that dips
For landlords with property near Westenhanger station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Will you come out to Stonestreet Green?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Stonestreet Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.

We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What’s the best way to book?

How long does the survey visit take?
It usually takes about one to two hours at a typical house, with time for the loft where it can be reached. Report times depend on the package, from the same day for Premium to within 48 hours for Basic.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Pre-purchase roof surveys in Stonestreet Green: local notes
With Westenhanger Castle about 3.7 miles east, Stonestreet Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Martin, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
