Flat roof survey in Wilsley Green, Kent
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings for Wilsley Green and the rest of Kent. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Cracked or split membrane
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Leaks around rooflights
When to book a survey in Wilsley Green
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. Blocked outlets, poor falls and a sagging deck are the usual causes. Where trees are close by, leaves and silt can block an outlet within a single autumn.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Standing water left after rain
If you let a flat or house near Staplehurst station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What exactly goes into their report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Flat roof survey in Wilsley Green
Each type of flat roof has its own weak points. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Once you know the covering and its condition, planning the next step is far easier. If you’re worried about a sagging deck under the covering and upstands pulling away from walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Wilsley Green may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. Many owners only find out a roof is worn out when water comes through. Regular surveys mean it won’t come as a surprise. Outbuildings and barns around Wilsley 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.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Wilsley Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that is safe.
- Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there is access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Wilsley Green
Is Wilsley Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Wilsley Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Wilsley Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Wilsley Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Is a flat roof survey the same as a building survey?
No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Water that lies on a flat roof for days is a sign that something needs attention. It could be the outlets, the falls or a deflecting deck. The survey looks at each and records the likely cause.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Flat roof surveys in Wilsley Green: local notes
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. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Dunstan, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Take a building like Cranbrook Church of England Primary School: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
