FAQs for Biddenden Green
How do I find out if my home in Biddenden Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Biddenden Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
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?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
About our storm damage roof report in Biddenden Green
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you’re worried about loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and roofs hit by falling trees, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many homes in small places like Biddenden Green face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why act early in Biddenden Green
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Outbuildings and barns around Biddenden Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it is useful to mention:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- When you need the report by
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Biddenden Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Leaks and storm damage in Biddenden Green
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll 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. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
Landlords with a home close to Pluckley station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take an older house close to Church of St Michael: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Smarden Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
