Why get it checked now?
Waiting for a stain inside means the water has already got through the layers. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, while there’s still time to plan the work. In a place like Deerton Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- A written report with photos
- An independent look at the roof
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Deerton Street
Each type of flat roof has its own weak points. 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. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it is doing helps you plan what comes next. We survey mastic asphalt, upstands and outlets and single-ply membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are pools of water lying on the roof and failed seals around rooflight kerbs.
Older buildings in small places like Deerton Street may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Flat roof surveys around Deerton Street
Deerton Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. The wider area around Deerton Street has a long history of building, with Belmont House and Gardens about 4.1 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Take a building like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Rural addresses near Deerton Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking near the property

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a flat roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Book a survey every few years
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It is useful when planning upkeep and setting budgets, and it makes changes easy to spot at the next survey.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
When to book a survey in Deerton Street
Buyers often book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Owners and managing agents use a survey to plan upkeep, or ahead of a sale or a new lease. In each case, the report gives a written, photographed record of the roof’s condition.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Loose or cracked edge trims
For landlords with property near Teynham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Will the report include photos?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Your questions about flat roof surveys in Deerton Street
Is Deerton Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Deerton Street is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Deerton Street listed or in a conservation area?
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.
How do you inspect a flat roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Otherwise we use windows, vantage points and the spaces below, and we note any area we couldn’t see. We do not walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
Will this cover the whole house?
No. It is a closer look at the flat roof, not a survey of the whole property. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Can you tell me how long my flat roof will last?
A precise figure isn’t something we give, because it depends on upkeep, weather and how the roof was laid. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
