Snodland Flat Roof Survey
Independent flat roof surveys in Snodland. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- A sagging deck under the covering
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to a smaller place like Snodland is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We look at the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Flat roof survey in Snodland
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed water getting in at rooflights and outlets that hold water back, we can find out what’s behind it, on mastic asphalt, single-ply membranes and felt flat roofs alike.
Around a smaller place like Snodland, flat roofs usually cover extensions, garages and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Our report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. Blocked gutters on homes around Snodland overflow and soak walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- Fragile surfaces, which we do not walk on

Common questions in Snodland
Will you come out to Snodland?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is Snodland in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Snodland as anywhere else.
What happens after the survey?
You will receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What a flat roof survey looks like in Snodland
With Starkey Castle about 2.5 miles north, Snodland sits in an area with a long building history. 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. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Take a building like Snodland CofE Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For landlords with property near Snodland station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Common roof problems in Snodland
Many flat roof problems start at the details rather than the main surface. Upstands, edge trims, outlets and the kerbs around rooflights move and weather differently from the rest of the roof. If they were rushed when the roof was laid, they’re often the first things to fail.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- A sagging deck under the covering
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of the New Jerusalem, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Are they insured for the work?
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and built-up roofs
On felt, the upstands and edge details often fail before the main surface. We check each one and photograph any that have split or pulled away.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply PVC and TPO membranes are common on commercial roofs and newer buildings. The survey looks at welded seams, edges, fixings and signs of damage.
