Roof survey in Dunton Green: what you get
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. 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. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you’re worried about lifted, split or missing lead flashings and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Dunton Green are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Dunton Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive

Useful tips for Dunton Green property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
Do you need a roof survey in Dunton Green?
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
Homes near green spaces such as Montreal Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Dunton Green
The wider area around Dunton Green has a long history of building, with Knole House about 2.5 miles south-east. 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. 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. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
The streets around a church such as St John's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Dunton Green station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
