Roof Survey in Conyer
Know where you stand with the roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out roof surveys in Conyer.
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Why it’s worth a survey now in Conyer
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. For an older or listed building in a place like Conyer, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Conyer
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. If you’re worried about valley linings that have cracked or split and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Conyer, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Roof surveys in Conyer: local notes
Conyer lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own a rental within reach of Teynham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Conyer is about 4 miles east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. From houses to flats and shops in Conyer, we can survey the roof. Our area takes in places right across Kent, large and small. There is also a page for Canterbury.

FAQs for Conyer
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Conyer?
It can do. Within about 1 mile of the sea, as Conyer is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Will you come out to Conyer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We don’t give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
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’ll say so.
Useful tips for Conyer property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a small place like Conyer, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets in another room
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
What affects the price in Conyer
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Which survey package you book
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
