For landlords and managing agents

Roof survey in Dunbridge
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, flat roofs and lead flashings, and people most often book us about cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and loose chimney pots.
In a small place like Dunbridge, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How we price roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The roof’s overall size
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it is useful to mention:
- Anything about access we should know
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
What a roof survey looks like in Dunbridge
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The wider area around Dunbridge has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 0.7 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What we’re asked to look at in Dunbridge
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It’s frequently mistaken for a leak.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Loose chimney pots
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Anyone responsible for a site like Awbridge Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and South East England. Where several slates have slipped, the cause is frequently nail fatigue, which we describe in the report.
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.

Common questions in Dunbridge
I let a flat near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Dunbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How much does a roof survey cost in Dunbridge?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it’s 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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Why act early in Dunbridge
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is frequently been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner. Outbuildings and barns around Dunbridge are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
