About our roof survey in Wingham Green
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. Common reasons to book are loose chimney pots and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, across clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and chimney stacks.
Some older homes in villages like Wingham Green are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
We check the stack itself, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We will tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. Loose ridges and gaps in the mortar are recorded, as wind can lift them.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Which survey package you book
All our prices include VAT. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- When you need the report by
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Wingham Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Getting a price

Advice
Useful tips for Wingham Green property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- File the report with your home documents
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
When to book a survey in Wingham Green
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Loose chimney pots
The streets around a church like St Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What happens after the report arrives
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What experience they bring
Why act early in Wingham Green
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Wingham Green questions
I let a flat near Adisham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Wingham Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Roof surveys around Wingham Green
Goodnestone Park, about 2.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wingham Green. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building such as Wingham Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
