Roof Survey in Underling Green
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings around Underling Green, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to tell us when you get in touch

About our roof survey in Underling Green
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. 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 cracked mortar along the ridge and flashings that have come away from the wall, on ridges, hips and valleys, flat roofs and natural slate.
In a small place like Underling Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
We email the report to you. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.
Underling Green homes and their roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Landlords with a home close to Marden station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Historic houses such as Stoneacre, about 5 miles north-east, show how far back building around Underling Green goes. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.

What this survey cannot tell you
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- A structural engineer’s report
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets

What we do, 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. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a small place like Underling Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. 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 by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Arrange a survey
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

FAQs for Underling Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Marden station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Underling Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
