Plaitford Green Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Plaitford Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
How a roof survey works in Plaitford Green
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. Typical surveys look at flashings that have come away from the wall and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, across ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a hamlet or village like Plaitford Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Local roofs in Plaitford Green
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. With Landford Manor about 1.7 miles south-west, Plaitford Green sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Your questions about roof surveys in Plaitford Green
Do you cover smaller places like Plaitford Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
I let a flat near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
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.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
What this survey can’t tell you
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Plaitford Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
