Roof survey in Pearson's Green: what you get
We survey roofs in Pearson's Green and across London and South East England. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Typical surveys look at loose ridge or hip tiles and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, across the roof space, flat roofs and ridges, hips and valleys.
Some older homes in villages like Pearson's Green 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Pearson's Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- 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 ground level, 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.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
How to book
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

Pearson's Green homes and their roofs
Scotney Castle, about 5 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pearson's Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Paddock Wood station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Mascalls School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Landlords and letting agents in Pearson's Green book surveys as well as householders. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Let us know about past leaks
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- File the report with your home documents
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Common questions in Pearson's Green
Will you come out to Pearson's Green?
Yes. Pearson's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Can a landlord with a rental near Paddock Wood station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Prices for roof surveys in Pearson's Green
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
We will normally ask about:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Pearson's Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
For a price for your roof in Pearson's Green, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
