Roof survey in Eyhorne Street
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. Common reasons to book are loose chimney pots and cracked mortar along the ridge, across chimney stacks, flat roofs and ridges, hips and valleys.
Somewhere as small as Eyhorne Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Questions from Eyhorne Street
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hollingbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Eyhorne Street listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Report times depend on the package.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.

Other services in Eyhorne Street
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it is relevant. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts with the stack outside. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.

- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
