Flat Roof Survey in Underling Green
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings in Underling Green, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Get in touch for a price.
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Blocked or damaged outlets
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Underling Green
Water through a flat roof doesn’t always come in where the stain is. It can run along the deck from a split, an open lap or a failed upstand some distance away. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, with photographs of anything that could be letting water in. A roofer can then start from a clear picture of the problem. If you’re worried about upstands pulling away from walls and signs of deflection in the roof deck, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on mastic asphalt, single-ply membranes and felt flat roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Underling Green are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. Most often it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and each wet season wears the covering further. Finding the cause now keeps more options open. For older village homes like those around Underling Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.

Underling Green questions
Do you cover Underling Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How do I find out if my home in Underling Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and it wears the covering faster. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: the roof itself where that’s safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.

Flat and commercial roofs around Underling Green
Historic houses such as Stoneacre, about 5 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Underling Green goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you own a rental within reach of Marden station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Older rural homes like those around Underling Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that’s safe.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room
