Questions from Colliers Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Colliers Green?
Yes, Colliers Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is Colliers Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Colliers Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Will this cover the whole house?
No. It’s a survey of the flat roof. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 home survey or a structural engineer’s report. Many buyers use it alongside a building survey.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How a flat roof survey works in Colliers Green
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats often sit under large flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. We survey felt flat roofs, single-ply membranes and EPDM rubber, and common reasons people get in touch are a sagging deck under the covering and blistering in felt or asphalt.
In a village or hamlet like Colliers Green, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
For landlords and building managers, the report is a dated record of the roof’s condition. It’s useful when planning upkeep and setting budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
Try not to let a flat roof become a walkway. Where someone does need access, ask them to use boards or a protected route, and remind them never to step on rooflights or fragile sheets.

Local flat roofs in Colliers Green
The wider area around Colliers Green has a long history of building, with Scotney Castle about 4.9 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For landlords with property near Marden station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

What happens if roof problems are left?
By the time a flat roof leak shows indoors, water has already passed through the roof build-up. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, while there’s still time to plan the work. For an older or listed building in a place like Colliers Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Around Colliers Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We check the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property
