Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
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.
Roof survey in Aylesford
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey chimney stacks, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and leaning or weathered chimney stacks.
Houses in smaller places like Aylesford can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a survey in Aylesford, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before the survey

Roof surveys around Aylesford
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Aylesford Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Aylesford station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

FAQs for Aylesford
I let a flat near Aylesford station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building.
Is Aylesford within the area you cover?
Yes. Aylesford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How long will you be at the property?
Allow roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea of timing when booking.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We do not provide structural calculations.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Why act early in Aylesford
A small roof defect usually gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Arranging work in a smaller place like Aylesford is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Why us?
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Surveys seven days a week

Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
