Flat Roof Survey in Linton
Find out what’s going on with the flat roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out flat roof surveys in Linton.
- Leaks around rooflights
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
Honest limits
A survey is a close look at the flat roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Fragile surfaces, which we do not walk on
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

Flat roof survey in Linton: what you get
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can safely be seen: on the roof where it is safe, from windows and higher ground, and from the rooms below where we can reach them. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. Where any area cannot be viewed safely, we say so in the report, so you know exactly what was covered. If you’ve noticed blocked or damaged outlets and failed upstands where the roof meets a wall, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Linton are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Different roofs, different checks
Rooflights and upstands
We don’t walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. They’re inspected from safe positions and recorded with photographs.
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs are laid as a resin and glass-fibre layer over boards. The survey checks for cracking at board joints, at the edge trims and where the roof meets walls.
Linton: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Linton?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Linton is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Is Linton within the area you cover?
Yes, Linton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Do you go up onto the roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: the roof itself where that’s safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.

Local flat roofs in Linton
With Stoneacre about 3.8 miles north-east, Linton sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Mall Maidstone, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicholas Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Linton is about 3 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Anywhere in Linton, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our Kent coverage includes Linton.

Why it is worth a survey now in Linton
Caught early, a split or open seam in a flat roof is often a small repair. Leave it, and water can get into the insulation and deck, which can turn a patch into a replacement. Surveying it now tells you where you stand. For an older or listed building in a place like Linton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Linton can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that is safe.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- Where there is safe access, we check the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
