How a roof survey works in Boughton Corner
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you are worried about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Boughton Corner, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

Landlord and commercial surveys in Boughton Corner
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older rural homes like those around Boughton Corner 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, and anything we can’t see is noted.

Local roofs in Boughton Corner
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Shop and office owners around County Square may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Take an older house close to All Saints’ Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What happens if roof problems are left?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. For an older or listed building in a place like Boughton Corner, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

Your questions about roof surveys in Boughton Corner
Is my home in Boughton Corner listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
I let a flat near Wye station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.

When to book a survey in Boughton Corner
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
Landlords with a home close to Wye station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What experience they bring
- Whether VAT is added on top
