When it comes to roof inspections in Chilham — one of Kent’s most photographed villages, set around a medieval square below Chilham Castle — and with housing that is largely medieval and Tudor timber-framed listed cottages, condition reports on listed and period roofs before buying is the typical call.
We keep it honest — inspect the covering, timber, flashings and detailing and give you a clear written report with photographs, with a visual, drone or full pre-purchase report, fee credited against work — a free Chilham survey, a fixed written quote and no call-out fee.
Most Chilham roofs are reached from a tower or roof ladder; scaffold is quoted where a job needs safe standing time at height. Scaffold is specified for: re-roofs, chimney and valley work, and anything beyond a day at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Chilham’s listed and conservation buildings mean matched materials, lime mortar and often consent, with tight lanes where scaffold and skip placement take planning. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Ashford Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like Chilham high street, Chilham’s older terraces where space is tight.
Chilham sits as a historic hilltop village with one of Kent's most famous medieval villages — timber-framed and Tudor houses around the square, peg-tiled cottages, and listed buildings throughout the conservation area. For roof surveys, that context matters — A proper Chilham roof survey tells you what's actually wrong and what can wait — useful before buying, after a leak, or when a roofer has quoted a full re-roof you're unsure about.
Almost every roof is historic, listed or conservation-controlled. Work means reclaimed Kentish peg tile, lime mortar, oak-peg detailing and lead — modern materials are refused outright. Steep pitches need specialist access. That factor drives most of the roof surveys calls we take around The Square, The Street, School Hill, Mountain Street and the rest of Chilham. Heavily listed medieval village — reclaimed peg tile, lime mortar and consent essential.
