What this survey can’t tell you

- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)

Roof survey in Meopham
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it is easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed torn or sagging underlay and cracked mortar along the ridge, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles alike.
Around Meopham, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Meopham is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- 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.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
What a roof survey looks like in Meopham
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. The wider area around Meopham has a long history of building, with Cobham College about 1.8 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For landlords with property near Meopham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Homes near green spaces such as Camer Park Country Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Meopham is about 4 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. We visit Meopham as part of our work across Kent. Across Kent, we cover Meopham and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Maidstone.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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.
Meopham: your questions answered
I let a flat near Meopham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Meopham within the area you cover?
Yes, Meopham is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
What affects the price in Meopham
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Why get it checked now?
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 loft space, we can frequently spot it sooner. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Meopham, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
