Roof survey in Wingham Well
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. If you’ve noticed condensation or damp timbers in the loft and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Wingham Well 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Wingham Well homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 1.8 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Wingham Well goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Wingham Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church such as St Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Signs you need a roof survey in Wingham Well
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone, letting tiles move.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
Landlords with a home close to Adisham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Why get it checked now?
If you’re planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
