Our roof survey service in TN13
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and debris building up in roof valleys.
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.

Homes and roofs across TN13
Older homes across TN13 frequently keep chimney stacks long after the fires went out, and the lead and mortar around them need watching. Valleys, gutters and fixings follow close behind.
Autumn and winter storms across the South East find any loose slate, tile or ridge. In TN13, as elsewhere, exposed details are where damage shows first.
Sevenoaks: Trees in and around Montreal Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Landlords with a home close to Sevenoaks station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Roof by roof
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, yet the nails holding it frequently fail long before the slate. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. Loose ridges and gaps in the mortar are recorded, as wind can lift them.
What affects the price in TN13
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before you put a home on the market, it is useful to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How long the report takes to arrive
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What a survey doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
FAQs for TN13
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How do I book a survey in TN13?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Is TN13 in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in TN13 and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across London and South East England. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
