Flishinghurst homes and their roofs
With Scotney Castle about 4.5 miles west, Flishinghurst sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Colliers Green Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Marden station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live near a park like Crane Valley, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
Flishinghurst is about 11 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Roofs in Flishinghurst get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Kent. We cover towns and villages across Kent, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Maidstone page.

Roof survey in Flishinghurst
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. If you are worried about condensation or damp timbers in the loft and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on natural slate, lead flashings and the roof space alike.
Older buildings in small places like Flishinghurst may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Common questions in Flishinghurst
Do you cover smaller places like Flishinghurst?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Marden station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How do I book a survey in Flishinghurst?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere like Flishinghurst needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about parking near the property

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

What we cannot see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Flishinghurst, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
