About our roof survey in Wormshill
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Common reasons to book are crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and flashings that have come away from the wall, across natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space.
Some older homes in villages like Wormshill 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 often matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What a roof survey looks like in Wormshill
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. With Leeds Castle about 3.7 miles south-west, Wormshill sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near St Giles, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Harrietsham station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Wormshill is about 4 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Wormshill gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Wormshill is one of the places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Maidstone.

What’s near Wormshill
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Blacksmith's Arms Public House, among other places. Wormshill’s nearest station is Harrietsham station, about 2.9 miles south. Well-known places in the area include KIMS hospital (6 miles west) and Leeds Castle (3.7 miles south-west). Open spaces near Wormshill include Detling Hill.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
You can learn a lot from ground level. 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
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Wormshill frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- 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 loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. In a small place like Wormshill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why book with us
- Clear package prices, with VAT included

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. We will tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. Upstands and outlets are checked too.
For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Wormshill and across Kent can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Wormshill questions
I let a flat near Harrietsham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Wormshill listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
