Why it’s worth a survey now in Mott's Mill
Without a survey, you’re guessing at what the roof needs. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Roof survey in Mott's Mill
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it is easy to find a day that suits. Typical surveys look at cracked mortar along the ridge and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, across clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Mott's Mill 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Mott's Mill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- 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.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
Local roofs in Mott's Mill
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Mott's Mill has a long history of building, with Groombridge Place about 1.6 miles north-east. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Eridge station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building such as Groombridge St Thomas' Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How do I find out if my home in Mott's Mill is listed?

How much does a roof survey cost in Mott's Mill?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
When to book a survey in Mott's Mill
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
If you live in an older home near Church of St Thomas the Apostle, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
