About our roof survey in Goose Green
There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. If you’ve noticed torn or sagging underlay and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Goose Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Roof surveys in Goose Green: local notes
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Old Soar Manor about 2.5 miles north-west, Goose Green sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Yalding station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Hadlow Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What a roof survey does not cover
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Goose Green
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- The roof space
- Lead flashings
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Flat roofs
What we’re asked to look at in Goose Green
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
Problems we come across often include:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Dunstan, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Useful tips for Goose Green property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Leave it or get it looked at?
If you’re planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up. Older and listed buildings around Goose Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why us?
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- Packages from £150, including VAT

Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Goose Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
