How a roof survey works in CT50
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the loft space where there is safe access. You get a report with photographs and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We are frequently asked to look into gutters that overflow in heavy rain and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, on chimney stacks, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings.
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Roof surveys across CT50: local notes
Across CT50, we survey roofs for owners, landlords and agents, from Cheriton and Sandgate to the quieter places in between. Each report sets out what was seen, with photographs and recommendations.
Several airports in London and the South East have flight restriction zones around them, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any drone flight in CT50. Where permission is needed, the flight waits for it. Parts of CT50 are coastal, so the weather on the day matters more for drone flights and roof access. If conditions are not right, the visit moves to a calmer day.
Cheriton: Landlords with a home close to Folkestone West station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Anyone responsible for a site like All Soul's Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.
Prices for roof surveys in CT50
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What we are asked to look at in CT50
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
Surveys for landlords and agents in CT50
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
Common questions in CT50
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you work in CT50?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes CT50.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
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.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
