Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Edenbridge
There are three levels of survey: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. Common reasons to book are worn lead at chimneys and abutments and loose chimney pots, across flat roofs, chimney stacks and lead flashings.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Edenbridge drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Edenbridge homes and their roofs
The wider area around Edenbridge has a long history of building, with Hever Castle about 2.4 miles south-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Edenbridge Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Edenbridge Town station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. With lower homes, common in places like Edenbridge, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and the South East. Widespread slipping typically points to corroded nails, and we say how widespread it looks.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a smaller place like Edenbridge, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
How long have you been surveying roofs?

Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Edenbridge?

What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
