Useful tips for Weddington property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
You get the report by email and can pass it to a roofer, your solicitor, the seller or your managing agent. It’s written in plain English, with a photo of each defect, so anyone reading it can see what we saw.
Get splits, lifted seams and loose trims seen to while they’re small. A flat roof that is looked after between surveys typically lasts longer.
How a flat roof survey works in Weddington
Ponding is often the first sign that something on a flat roof is not right. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. We record where water sits, check the outlets and look for dips that suggest deflection. Where the deck may be a structural issue, our report says a structural engineer should look at it. If you’ve noticed raised blisters across the surface and damaged trims at the roof edge, we can find out what’s behind it, on GRP fibreglass, upstands and outlets and felt flat roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Weddington, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Weddington can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Do you need a flat roof survey in Weddington?
Buyers frequently book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Building owners and managing agents book to plan maintenance, or before a sale or a new lease. Either way, you get a clear record of the roof, with photographs.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Outlets that hold water back
- A sagging deck under the covering
With Goodnestone Park about 3.9 miles south-west, the area around Weddington has a long history. Older houses nearby often have flat roofs added much later, built to very different standards from the main roof.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and built-up roofs
The edges and upstands of a felt roof are normally where trouble starts. Every upstand and edge is looked at, with photos of any that have lifted or cracked.
EPDM rubber
Rubber roofs can shrink back from their edges or lift where the adhesive has failed. Any we find are noted and photographed.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The size of the roof
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Questions from Weddington
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Weddington?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Is Weddington within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How quickly is the report sent?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so call 07833 053749 or email us with the address.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. If the cause cannot be seen, we will say so and suggest what would help.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Flat roof surveys around Weddington
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Weddington, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you own a rental within reach of Sandwich station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
