Five Oak Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Five Oak Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Five Oak Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
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. We can record the damage in our report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report follows by email.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How a storm damage roof report works in Five Oak Green
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Common reasons to book are ridge tiles that have come loose and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
Being in a small place like Five Oak Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
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.

Wind, rain and roofs in Five Oak Green
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
For landlords with property near Paddock Wood station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Take a building like Capel Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Why get it checked now?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Outbuildings and barns around Five Oak Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

What we are asked to look at in Five Oak Green
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you live near a park such as Foal Hurst Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Five Oak Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
