Crockhurst Street Roof Survey
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Crockhurst Street, with photos and a written report.
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
What affects the cost of roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Roof survey in Crockhurst Street
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Every package includes a written report. If you’ve noticed leaking gutter joints and downpipes and flashings that have come away from the wall, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys alike.
Older buildings in small places like Crockhurst Street may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we’re asked to look at in Crockhurst Street
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, especially near trees.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
If you own a rental within reach of Tonbridge station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Crockhurst Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Roof surveys in Crockhurst Street: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building like Capel Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Common questions in Crockhurst Street
I let a flat near Tonbridge station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is Crockhurst Street within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it is relevant. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped.
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- A structural engineer’s report
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
