Felderland Roof Survey
A careful look at the roof at your property in Felderland, with photographs and a written report.
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
Useful tips for Felderland property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- File the report with your home documents
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
We email the report to you, with photographs of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Felderland
Our roof surveys cover Felderland and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us. We survey the roof space, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Felderland, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

When to book a survey in Felderland
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, particularly near trees.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Loose chimney pots
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon the report will arrive
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their track record with similar roofs

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Felderland
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Felderland, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. With Goodnestone Park about 4.7 miles west, Felderland sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Sandwich station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building such as Sandwich Technology School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Felderland, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Common questions in Felderland
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Felderland?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Felderland within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
What does a roof survey include?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe. You get a report with photographs and recommendations.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
