Roof survey in Wilsley Green: what you get
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages often have flat roofs. They’re included alongside the main roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. Flat roofs often need attention long before the main roof. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. We’re often asked to look into leaking gutter joints and downpipes and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, across natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks.
In a small place like Wilsley Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Wilsley Green
Landlords, agents and building managers in Wilsley Green and across Kent can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
When to book a survey in Wilsley Green
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
Common reasons to book include:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Dunstan, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Natural slate
Inside the loft space, we check what’s under the slates. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs, and we note its condition.

Local roofs in Wilsley Green
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper 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.
Homes near green spaces such as Crane Valley can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you own a rental within reach of Staplehurst station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Cottages and farmhouses around Wilsley Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
