Roof Survey in Colliers Green

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Colliers Green
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on any day of the week, so it is easy to find a day that suits. We’re frequently asked to look into cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, across natural slate, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles.
Somewhere as small as Colliers Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently 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.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Questions from Colliers Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Colliers Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Marden station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the roof space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Do you need a roof survey in Colliers Green?
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Look out for signs like these:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
Take a building like Colliers Green Church of England Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Colliers Green homes and their roofs
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 4.9 miles south-west lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Colliers Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Marden station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live near a park such as The Gill, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Colliers Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know about parking near the property
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Colliers Green
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Outbuildings and barns around Colliers Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
