Flat roof survey in Stonebridge Green: what you get
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it’s doing helps you plan what comes next. We survey felt flat roofs, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass, and common reasons people get in touch are ponding water that doesn’t drain away and failed seals around rooflight kerbs.
In a small place like Stonebridge Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What a flat roof survey looks like in Stonebridge Green
Historic houses such as Godinton House, about 5 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Stonebridge Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

When to book a survey in Stonebridge Green
Water that does not drain sits on the roof and speeds up wear. It typically comes from poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that has dipped. Where trees are close by, leaves and silt can block an outlet within a single autumn.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Cracked or split membrane
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
For landlords with property near Charing station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How soon the report will arrive
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Make sure new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it makes changes easy to spot at the next survey.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering

The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Stonebridge Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Stonebridge Green questions
Is Stonebridge Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Stonebridge Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Stonebridge Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: on the roof where it’s safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks usually begin, recording anything that could let water through. Where the source isn’t obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Waiting for a stain inside means the water has already got through the layers. We can pick up worn covering and failing details sooner, while there’s still time to plan the work. Outbuildings and barns around Stonebridge Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
