Common questions in Brenzett
Do you cover Brenzett?
Yes, Brenzett is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Brenzett?
Yes, Brenzett is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is looked at. If the cause can’t be seen, we’ll say so and suggest what would help.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. Offices, units, shops and blocks of flats are all part of our work. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
Will this cover the whole house?
No. Our survey covers the flat roof only. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 home survey or a structural engineer’s report. It often sits alongside a buyer’s building survey.
About our flat roof survey in Brenzett
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. You get a written report with photographs and our recommendations. We survey felt flat roofs, mastic asphalt and single-ply membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked or damaged outlets and signs of deflection in the roof deck.
Some older homes in villages like Brenzett are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Brenzett
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Common roof problems in Brenzett
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. People usually call us when a leak appears, before a purchase, or when the roof may be near the end of its life.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Water getting in at rooflights
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Brenzett Church of England Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Brenzett needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Getting a price
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
More services for Brenzett
Flat roofs in Brenzett
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. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you let a flat or house near Appledore (Kent) station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Eanswith's Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
