Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Worth
Buying a home with a flat-roofed extension, dormer or garage? It is useful to know that roof’s condition before you exchange. Many felt roofs need renewing after around 15 to 20 years, and EPDM and GRP often go on for longer. Our report records the covering, how it’s holding up and any defects we can see, with a photo of every defect. You then have something specific to put to the seller or agent. If you’ve noticed raised blisters across the surface and failed upstands where the roof meets a wall, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on single-ply membranes, upstands and outlets and GRP fibreglass alike.
Older buildings in small places like Worth may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Mastic asphalt
- Single-ply membranes
- EPDM rubber
- Felt flat roofs
- GRP fibreglass
- Upstands and outlets
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Worth can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any 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
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Why act early in Worth
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 Worth are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Worth: your questions answered
Do you cover commercial flat roofs around Worth?
Yes, commercial buildings, hotels included, are part of the work. Access to the roof is sorted out with whoever manages the building before the day.
Will you come out to Worth?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What’s in the report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Flat roofs in Worth
Worth lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt in the air is hard on metal flashings and fixings, and wind catches any loose edge on a flat roof. With Walmer Castle about 4.5 miles south-east, Worth sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For hotels and guest houses around Worth, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Sandwich station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply PVC and TPO membranes are common on commercial roofs and newer buildings. We check the welded laps, the edges, the fixings and any punctures.
Felt and built-up roofs
Built-up felt is one of the most common flat roof coverings on extensions, garages and dormers. The survey checks for blisters, cracks, open laps and bare patches where the surfacing has worn.
