Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
About our roof survey in Honey Hill
Our roof surveys cover Honey Hill and the wider South East. Visits run seven days a week. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flashings that have come away from the wall and worn or blocked valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Honey Hill, older cottages and farmhouses often 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. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The size of the roof
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Helping us price your survey
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
When to book a survey in Honey Hill
Some damage starts inside the loft space. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
For site and facilities teams at buildings like The Archbishop's School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
FAQs for Honey Hill
Is the coastal weather around Honey Hill hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Is my home in Honey Hill listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long does the visit take?
Allow about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We will give you an idea of timing when booking.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. 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.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos testing is not part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Honey Hill
Before you put a home on the market, it’s useful to know the roof’s condition. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up. Older cottages and farmhouses around Honey Hill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What you get with us

Local roofs in Honey Hill
Honey Hill lies within about 3 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Honey Hill, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
