Aldington Frith questions
Do you cover Aldington Frith?
Yes, Aldington Frith is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Aldington Frith as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Aldington Frith is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
How a storm damage roof report works in Aldington Frith
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Common reasons to book are damaged gutters and fascias and ridge tiles that have come loose, on flashings, ridges and hips and flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Aldington Frith, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Why act early in Aldington Frith
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. For an older or listed building in a place like Aldington Frith, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Storm damage roof reports in Aldington Frith: local notes
About 5 miles east lies Westenhanger Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Aldington Frith has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often 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. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you live near a park like Poulton Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Ham Street station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you run a business near Ashford Designer Outlet, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Aldington Frith can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
