Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sinkhurst Green
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey chimney stacks, the roof space and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most often book us about cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
Older buildings in small places like Sinkhurst Green 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What happens on the day
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 most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere as small as Sinkhurst 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. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

When to book a survey in Sinkhurst Green
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Roof surveys in Sinkhurst Green: local notes
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Landlords with a home close to Headcorn station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Frittenden Church of England Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Sinkhurst Green questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Headcorn station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Are there drone restrictions around Sinkhurst Green?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Sinkhurst Green is about 3 miles from Headcorn Aerodrome, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
How much does a roof survey cost in Sinkhurst Green?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
