Pell Green questions
Is Pell Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Pell Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Can a landlord with a rental near Wadhurst station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from the ground, windows and the roof space.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
About our roof survey in Pell Green
Our roof surveys cover Pell Green and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you’re ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us. Common reasons to book are slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and the roof space.
Some older homes in villages like Pell 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.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as Pell Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

When you need someone else
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Natural slate
- The roof space
- Chimney stacks
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.

About 0.9 miles south-west lies Wadhurst Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Pell Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own a rental within reach of Wadhurst station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Wadhurst CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Common roof problems in Pell Green
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside frequently starts at the top of the stack.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
The streets around a church such as Rehoboth Chapel are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which limits apply to the survey
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
