Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stockland 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. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. Common reasons to book are leaning or weathered chimney stacks and valley linings that have cracked or split, on flat roofs, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles.
Somewhere as small as Stockland Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Stockland Green questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stockland Green?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Stockland Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Stockland Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It is not a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.

What else we do in Stockland Green
Signs you need a roof survey in Stockland Green
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
Common reasons to book include:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Shop and office owners around Royal Victoria Place may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the survey will not cover
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Stockland Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
How to book
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Roof surveys in Stockland Green: local notes
The wider area around Stockland Green has a long history of building, with Penshurst Place about 2.5 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Why act early in Stockland Green
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. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Older and listed buildings around Stockland Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
