Roof Survey in Molash

Useful tips for Molash property owners
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
Roof survey in Molash: what you get
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We survey natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings.
Some older homes in villages like Molash are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Roof surveys around Molash
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.8 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Molash goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Wye station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Molash: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Molash is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Wye 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.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How do I book a survey in Molash?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded.
Why get it checked now?
A small roof defect usually gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Older cottages and farmhouses around Molash can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Molash, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
