Roof survey in Bromley Green, Kent
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Bromley Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
Useful tips for Bromley Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Keep the report with your property records
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Roof survey in Bromley Green: what you get
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. We survey natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space, and the problems we are asked to look at most are torn or sagging underlay and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings.
Older buildings in small places like Bromley Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Widespread slipping usually points to corroded nails, which we describe in the report.
Your questions about roof surveys in Bromley Green
Do you cover smaller places like Bromley Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can a landlord with a rental near Ham Street station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How do I book a survey in Bromley Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it normally takes an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
What a roof survey looks like in Bromley Green
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Godinton House, about 4.5 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bromley Green. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For businesses in and around places such as Ashford Designer Outlet, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take a building like John Wallis Academy: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Ham Street station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets

What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Rural addresses near Bromley Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

What else we do in Bromley Green
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
