Roof survey in Hall's Green, Kent
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hall's Green. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Loose chimney pots
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- File the report with your home documents
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Don’t 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.
How a roof survey works in Hall's Green
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. We’re frequently asked to look into leaning or weathered chimney stacks and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, on natural slate, the roof space and flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Hall's Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.

What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Cottages and farmhouses around Hall's Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- A structural engineer’s report

Roof surveys around Hall's Green
With Knole House about 3.1 miles north, Hall's Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Trees in and around Bough Beech Reservoir shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Landlords with a home close to Penshurst station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Weald Community Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at, as far as we can safely see them. We note any lean or loose pots.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip, leaving gaps along the courses.
