About our roof survey in Green Street Green
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there is safe access. You get a report with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar along the ridge and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Green Street Green 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Why it is worth a survey now in Green Street Green
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is frequently been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Green Street Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Roof surveys in Green Street Green: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Greenlands Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Living close to Beacon Wood Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

The survey, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Green Street Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Green Street Green questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Longfield station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Green Street Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we will say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How do I book a survey in Green Street Green?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.

Do you need a roof survey in Green Street Green?
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Torn or sagging underlay
Landlords with a home close to Longfield station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What insurance they carry
- How long the report takes to arrive
Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Mention any damp patches as you book
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
