About roof surveys in ME10
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where it applies and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey natural slate, flat roofs and ridges, hips and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are loose chimney pots and standing water on a flat roof.
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
What you’ll pay
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. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Roof surveys across ME10: local notes
ME10 has everything from older homes with tall chimneys to modern estates. Sooner or later, every roof needs its gutters, flashings and coverings checked, wherever they are in ME10.
Several airports in London and South East England have flight restriction zones around them, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any drone flight in ME10. Where permission is needed, the flight waits for it. Parts of ME10 are coastal, so wind can decide whether a drone flies or a roof can be reached safely. A windy forecast can mean a change of date.
Sittingbourne: For landlords with property near Sittingbourne station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Borden Grammar School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Landlord and commercial surveys in ME10
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
What we’re asked to look at in ME10
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
How we price roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Your questions about roof surveys in ME10
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How much does a roof survey cost in ME10?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
How soon is the report ready?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It is not a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
