New Street: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Meopham 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 cover smaller places like New Street?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it is safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
Roof survey in New Street
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a report with photographs and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and lifted, split or missing lead flashings.
Older buildings in small places like New Street 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)

Roof surveys around New Street
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses such as Cobham College, about 3.6 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around New Street goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of Saint Peter, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Meopham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

How we price roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before you book.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Signs you need a roof survey in New Street
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
If you live near a park like Trosley Country Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Useful tips for New Street property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Around New Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We look at them before they cause trouble. For an older or listed building in a place like New Street, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
