Why get it checked now?
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Around Lamberhurst Quarter, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Why book us in Lamberhurst Quarter
- Photographs and a written report every time

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lamberhurst Quarter
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey lead flashings, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are worn lead at chimneys and abutments and condensation or damp timbers in the loft.
Older buildings in small places like Lamberhurst Quarter 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. 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 is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A full building survey of the property
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Asbestos testing of any kind
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- The roof space
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Lead flashings
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Ridges, hips and valleys
What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
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.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Keep the report with your property records
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and it can help when you sell.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Common questions in Lamberhurst Quarter
How do I find out if my home in Lamberhurst Quarter is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Lamberhurst Quarter?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It’s emailed to you.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only when it’s safe. We also use views from the ground, windows and the loft space.
What a roof survey looks like in Lamberhurst Quarter
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Landlords with a home close to Frant station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Scotney Castle, about 2.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lamberhurst Quarter. If your home is one of the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- When you need the report by
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Lamberhurst Quarter, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
