About our flat roof survey in Stone Corner
Flat roofs deal with rain in a very different way from pitched ones. Water lies on the surface for longer, so a small split or a blocked outlet can soon lead to a leak. The surface, the falls, the upstands and the trims are all looked at closely, and we note any sign that the deck below has got wet. That way, defects are found before they reach the room below. We are often asked to look into leaks around rooflights and blisters and bubbles in the covering, across single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber and mastic asphalt.
Some older homes in villages like Stone Corner are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Stone Corner
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. Owners often learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. A survey every few years stops that from catching you out. In a small place like Stone Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Prices for flat roof surveys in Stone Corner
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
- The kind of building and roof involved
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Checking the roof from ground level
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Stone Corner?
No flat roof covering lasts for ever. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, though workmanship and upkeep make a big difference. We can tell you how your roof is doing, whatever its age.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Outlets that hold water back
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Splits, cracks and crazing
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their report turnaround times
- Their track record with similar roofs
Flat roofs in Stone Corner
About 1.4 miles north-west lies Smallhythe Place, a reminder of how long the area around Stone Corner has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, 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. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Stone Corner, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is 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
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Stone Corner: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Stone Corner is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Corner?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It often means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on commercial buildings as well as homes. A commercial roof typically takes about 3 to 4 hours on site, longer if it is large or complex, and larger roofs are quoted for their size.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
