How a roof survey works in Hazel Street
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away from the wall and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, across flat roofs, lead flashings and natural slate.
Some older homes in villages like Hazel Street 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What else we do in Hazel Street
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a hamlet or village like Hazel Street, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.

What we are asked to look at in Hazel Street
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
The streets around a church like Church of St Margaret are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before you book anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Questions from Hazel Street
Can a landlord with a rental near Paddock Wood station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Hazel Street listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
How do I book a survey in Hazel Street?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Local roofs in Hazel Street
About 2.7 miles south lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Hazel Street has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take a building like Horsmonden Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Paddock Wood station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
