About our roof survey in Liverton Street
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Common reasons to book are crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and flashings that have come away from the wall, across flat roofs, natural slate and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Liverton Street, 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Local roofs in Liverton Street
Historic houses such as Leeds Castle, about 3.1 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Liverton Street goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Anyone responsible for a site like Platts Heath Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Homes near green spaces such as Kiln Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What else we do in Liverton Street
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
What a roof survey does not cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- A structural engineer’s report
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)

Your questions about roof surveys in Liverton Street
Will you come out to Liverton Street?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can a landlord with a rental near Lenham station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Liverton Street?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
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. We send it by email.
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Liverton Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Let us know about past leaks
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
Your report arrives by email, with photographs of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Older and listed buildings around Liverton Street may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
