Roof survey in Godden Green
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar along the ridge and valley linings that have cracked or split, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Godden Green are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We look at them before they cause trouble. For older village homes like those around Godden Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

FAQs for Godden Green
Do you cover smaller places like Godden Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Godden 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.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow about one to two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we’ll say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
What affects the price in Godden Green
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Which survey package you book
- The roof’s overall size
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Godden Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. Loose ridges and gaps in the mortar are recorded, as wind can lift them.
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof.
Roof surveys in Godden Green: local notes
About 1 mile south-west lies Knole House, a reminder of how long the area around Godden Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building like Sevenoaks Preparatory School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Bat & Ball station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Homes near green spaces such as Knole Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
