About our roof survey in Cheeseman's Green
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. 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. If you are worried about gutters that overflow in heavy rain and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges, hips and valleys, flat roofs and lead flashings alike.
Older buildings in small places like Cheeseman's Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Cheeseman's Green: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Cheeseman's Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It’s emailed to you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
When to book a survey in Cheeseman's Green
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Standing water on a flat roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Finberry Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Cheeseman's Green
Godinton House, about 4.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cheeseman's Green. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For landlords with property near Ashford International station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Shop and office owners around Ashford Designer Outlet may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We look at how the covering is wearing.
Prices for roof surveys in Cheeseman's Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- House, block, shop or office
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you contact us
When you call or email, these details help:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Cheeseman's 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Why it is worth a survey now in Cheeseman's Green
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right. In a small place like Cheeseman's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Surveys on any day of the week
- Plain-English reports with photos

For landlords and managing agents

We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof.
