South Green roofs and the weather
Leeds Castle, about 4.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around South Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Living close to Stockbury Hill Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Landlords with a home close to Newington station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
South Green is about 4 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Surveys in South Green work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. South Green is one of the towns and villages in Kent we cover. Maidstone is in our area too.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in South Green
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are holes or cracks caused by debris and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Somewhere as small as South Green, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in South Green
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
Take an older house close to St Mary Magdalene Church: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

FAQs for South Green
Is South Green within the area you cover?
Yes. South Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is South Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in South Green as anywhere else.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Why act early in South Green
With an independent report, you have something specific to show your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. Older cottages and farmhouses around South Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- When you need the report by
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as South Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
