Roof survey in Woolpack Corner
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. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. We survey chimney stacks, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space, and people most often book us about valley linings that have cracked or split and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists.
In a small place like Woolpack Corner, 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 frequently where weather gets in first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The roof’s overall size
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Woolpack Corner
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Woolpack Corner can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What a roof survey looks like in Woolpack Corner
About 5 miles south-east lies Smallhythe Place, a reminder of how long the area around Woolpack Corner has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you let a flat or house near Headcorn station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to Parish Church of All Saints: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- A full building survey of the property

Signs you need a roof survey in Woolpack Corner
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, especially near trees.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Loose chimney pots
- Standing water on a flat roof
Living close to Wattle Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether VAT is added on top
Common questions in Woolpack Corner
Is Woolpack Corner within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
