About our roof survey in Three Chimneys
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there’s safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Typical surveys look at condensation or damp timbers in the loft and standing water on a flat roof, on the roof space, flat roofs and natural slate.
Older buildings in small places like Three Chimneys 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

How the survey works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a village or hamlet like Three Chimneys, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
Why act early in Three Chimneys
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We check them before they cause trouble. In a small place like Three Chimneys, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.

Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move, leaving gaps along the courses.
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails frequently corrode first. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates, and for clips that show past repairs.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

If you let a flat or house near Headcorn station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Whatever the street in Three Chimneys, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

Three Chimneys: your questions answered
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Three Chimneys?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Three Chimneys is about 3 miles from Headcorn Aerodrome, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How do I book a survey in Three Chimneys?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
