If you’re worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Potters Corner may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
Roof by roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Worn or split lead lets water straight in.
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, especially at the verges and ridge.
What a roof survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future

What this survey covers
- The roof space
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings
- Flat roofs
- Natural slate
- Chimney stacks
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
Local roofs in Potters Corner
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses such as Godinton House, about 1.2 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Potters Corner goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you run a business near County Square, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you look after a building like Goat Lees Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Potters Corner: your questions answered
Is Potters Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Potters Corner?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How soon is the report ready?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It is emailed to you.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Potters Corner, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
