Flat roof survey in Goose Green: what you get
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the roof itself where that’s safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there’s access. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. If part of the roof cannot be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so the limits of the survey are clear. If you’ve noticed standing water left after rain and blistering in felt or asphalt, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Goose Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Goose Green
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. Many owners only find out a roof is worn out when water comes through. A survey every few years stops that from catching you out. For older village homes like those around Goose Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

Flat and commercial roofs around Goose Green
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. 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. With Old Soar Manor about 2.5 miles north-west, Goose Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hadlow Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Dunstan, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Goose Green is about 4 miles north-east of Tonbridge, in Kent. From houses to flats and shops in Goose Green, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Across Kent, we cover Goose Green. There’s also a page for Maidstone.

Roof by roof
Mastic asphalt

Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. We record any we can see, with photographs.

What else we do in Goose Green
Do you need a flat roof survey in Goose Green?
Every flat roof covering has a working life. Around 15 to 20 years is common for felt, while EPDM often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, although how well it was laid and looked after matters a great deal. A survey shows how yours is holding up, whatever its age.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Blocked or damaged outlets
Landlords with a home close to Yalding station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Common questions in Goose Green
Do you cover Goose Green?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Goose Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Goose Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is a flat roof survey the same as a building survey?
No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
Can you tell me how long my flat roof will last?
We don’t give a fixed number of years, because so much depends on upkeep, exposure and workmanship. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Goose Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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 is access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
