Roof survey in Marsh Green
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most often book us about slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and debris building up in roof valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Marsh Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What affects the price in Marsh Green
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Marsh Green
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Marsh Green Mission Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Edenbridge Town station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Marsh Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey

Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Marsh Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Signs you need a roof survey in Marsh Green
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead is not unusual either, as thieves target it.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
With Hever Castle about 2.6 miles east, the area around Marsh Green has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads

Questions from Marsh Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Edenbridge Town station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Marsh Green 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.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
How long does the visit take?
Allow about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
