How a flat roof survey works in Molash
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats often sit under large flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. We record the condition with photos so work can be planned and budgeted. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so it helps if you ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. If you’ve noticed outlets choked with leaves and silt and upstands pulling away from walls, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Molash 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the flat roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- 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 is useful when planning upkeep and setting budgets, and it makes changes easy to spot at the next survey.
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 to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A small split in a flat roof is normally a modest job when it’s found early. 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. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Molash, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Flat and commercial roofs around Molash
With Belmont House and Gardens about 3.8 miles north-west, Molash 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. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Wye station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Molash is about 6 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. Whether the building in Molash is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend.

How we price flat roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- House, block, shop or office
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Molash, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
