Roof survey in Hunton: what you get
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey natural slate, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles, and people most frequently book us about debris building up in roof valleys and leaking gutter joints and downpipes.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That’s why we look at them closely.
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Widespread slipping usually points to corroded nails, and we say how widespread it looks.
What a roof survey looks like in Hunton
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hunton Church of England Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Yalding station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Living close to Quarry Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Hunton is about 4 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. From houses to flats and shops in Hunton, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Kent coverage includes Hunton and the places around it.

What’s near Hunton
In Hunton, that means homes and buildings near Quarry Wood and the streets around them. Hunton’s nearest station is Yalding station, roughly 2.1 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Teapot Island (1.8 miles west) and Oakwood Hospital (3.7 miles north).
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up. In a place like Hunton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Hunton, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
