About roof surveys in TN26
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. Typical surveys look at lifted, split or missing lead flashings and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, on flat roofs, the roof space and clay and concrete tiles.
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey normally takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.

Roof surveys across TN26: local notes
In TN26, our roof surveys work takes in owners, landlords and managing agents, in Ashford, Hamstreet and Bethersden and well beyond. Every report comes with photographs and written recommendations.
The South East’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around several of its airports, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any drone flight in TN26. Flights that need permission only go ahead once it is given.
Hamstreet: Anyone responsible for a site like Hamstreet Primary Academy will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live in an older home near Church of the Good Shepherd, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Roof by roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. That is why we look at them closely.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
Why roofs fail
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s frequently mistaken for a leak.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
What a survey doesn’t cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- A structural engineer’s report
- A full building survey of the property
- An exact number of years the roof has left
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Let us know about past leaks
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Leave roof access to professionals
We email the report to you, with photographs of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
What affects the price in TN26
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight

- The shape of the roof and its details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where the property is, with the postcode
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before you book.
TN26 questions
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
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.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
How soon is the report ready?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
