How a flat roof survey works in Stonestreet Green
A flat roof leak frequently travels before it shows on the ceiling. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, and photograph anything that could let water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. If you are worried about outlets choked with leaves and silt and ponding water that doesn’t drain away, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Stonestreet Green, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Flat and commercial roofs around Stonestreet Green
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. About 3.7 miles east lies Westenhanger Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Stonestreet Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Aldington Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you run a business near Ashford Designer Outlet, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. For landlords with property near Westenhanger station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- EPDM rubber
- Mastic asphalt
- GRP fibreglass
- Felt flat roofs
- Single-ply membranes
- Upstands and outlets
Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. 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.
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.

Do you cover smaller places like Stonestreet Green?
Yes. Stonestreet Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.

You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Stonestreet Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
