About our roof survey in Hoo St Werburgh
We survey roofs in Hoo St Werburgh and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you are ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. If you are worried about debris building up in roof valleys and loose chimney pots, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Hoo St Werburgh, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Common questions in Hoo St Werburgh
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Gillingham (Kent) station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hoo St Werburgh?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

What else we do in Hoo St Werburgh
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a smaller place like Hoo St Werburgh, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Chimney stacks
We check the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. We will tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Useful tips for Hoo St Werburgh property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Clay and concrete tiles
- The roof space
- Natural slate
- Flat roofs
- Lead flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges, hips and valleys

Why act early in Hoo St Werburgh
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. Homes in smaller places like Hoo St Werburgh can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
