Outbuildings and barns around Wingham Well are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Flat roof survey in Wingham Well
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. We record the condition with photographs so work can be planned and budgeted. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so it helps if you ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. If you are worried about failed upstands where the roof meets a wall and signs of deflection in the roof deck, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Wingham Well may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. 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.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Prices for flat roof surveys in Wingham Well
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
We’ll typically ask about:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
You get the report by email and can pass it to a roofer, your solicitor, the seller or your managing agent. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo, so others can follow it without going up to look.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Wingham Well 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.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We check the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Local flat roofs in Wingham Well
The wider area around Wingham Well has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 1.8 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wingham Primary School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Questions from Wingham Well
Is Wingham Well in the area you cover?
Yes, Wingham Well is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Wingham Well?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. You will then get the report by email.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
We check the whole roof, since water can travel before it shows inside. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is looked at. If the cause cannot be seen, we will say so and suggest what would help.
Do you go up onto the roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: on the roof where it’s safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What we’re asked to look at in Wingham Well
No flat roof covering lasts for ever. Around 15 to 20 years is common for felt, while EPDM often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, although how well it was laid and looked after matters a great deal. A survey shows how yours is holding up, whatever its age.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Standing water left after rain
- Blocked or damaged outlets
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
For landlords with property near Adisham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Questions to ask before you book
