Woolage Village Roof Survey
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out roof surveys in Woolage Village and across Kent.
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- File the report with your home documents
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
Your report arrives by email, with photos of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
How a roof survey works in Woolage Village
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there’s safe access. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you are worried about lifted, split or missing lead flashings and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings alike.
In a small place like Woolage Village, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Woolage Village: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Woolage Village?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Snowdown station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building.
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.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Around Woolage Village, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know where we can park nearby
