How a flat roof survey works in Crockhurst Street
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Once you know the covering and its condition, planning the next step is far easier. We survey single-ply membranes, mastic asphalt and felt flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are outlets choked with leaves and silt and splits, cracks and crazing.
Some older homes in villages like Crockhurst Street 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. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Crockhurst Street
Caught early, a split or open seam in a flat roof is frequently a small repair. Left alone, water can soak the insulation and the deck, and the job grows. Surveying it now tells you where you stand. In a place like Crockhurst Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Crockhurst Street: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Crockhurst Street?
Yes, Crockhurst Street is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Crockhurst Street is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. If you do not know what your roof is, we will identify it on the day.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Flat roofs in Crockhurst Street
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Tonbridge station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Capel Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Around Crockhurst Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What we can’t see
It is a careful look at the flat roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- GRP fibreglass
- Single-ply membranes
- Felt flat roofs
- Upstands and outlets
- EPDM rubber
- Mastic asphalt
What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber
Rubber roofs can shrink back from their edges or lift where the adhesive has failed. Any we find are noted and photographed.
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs can last up to about 30 years when they’re laid well. Cracking where boards meet or where the deck moves is a common early sign of trouble.
