How a roof survey works in Sharnal Street
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate frequently lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away from the wall and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, on clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and chimney stacks.
Older buildings in small places like Sharnal 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead 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, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Sharnal Street
Sharnal Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. Historic houses such as Restoration House, about 4.9 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Sharnal Street goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as High Halstow Primary Academy, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to Church of St Margaret: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Gillingham (Kent) station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then 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 Sharnal Street, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Related advice
Why get it checked now?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. In a small place like Sharnal Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Common questions in Sharnal Street
Will you come out to Sharnal Street?
Yes, Sharnal Street 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.
I let a flat near Gillingham (Kent) station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.

Will you climb onto the roof?
Only when it is safe. We also use views from the ground, windows and the roof space.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
