How a roof survey works in TN25
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey natural slate, chimney stacks and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most often book us about cracked mortar along the ridge and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- 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 written report with photos and recommendations.
Prices in TN25
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Every finding written up with photos
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
Local landmarks in Finberry
Around Finberry, our work takes us to homes and buildings near John Wallis Academy, Ashford Green Corridors and Church of St Mary and the streets around them. Finberry’s nearest station is Ashford International station, roughly 2 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find William Harvey Hospital (1.9 miles north-east) and Ashford Designer Outlet (1.5 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Hatch Park.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters across TN25
Across TN25, we survey roofs for owners, landlords and agents, from Ashford, Kennington and Godinton to the quieter places in between. Every report comes with photos and written recommendations.
Across London and the South East, older homes frequently have slate or clay tiles, while many later ones have concrete tiles. That variety shapes every survey in TN25. Along the coast in TN25, roofs facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that is where ridges, verges and flashings typically show it first.
Finberry: If you look after a building such as Finberry Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Ashford International station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What happens if roof problems are left?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner.
What to check before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Keep the report with your property records
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Common roof problems in TN25
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Loose chimney pots
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
When you need someone else
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
How we price roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What to tell us when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where the property is, with the postcode
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Common questions in TN25
What does a roof survey include?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Is TN25 in your area?
Yes. We carry out roof surveys in TN25, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How much does a roof survey cost in TN25?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
