About our roof survey in New Ash Green
We survey roofs in New Ash Green and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Typical surveys look at crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, on the roof space, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
In a small place like New Ash Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Useful tips for New Ash Green property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- File the report with your home documents
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Your report arrives by email. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Landlord and commercial surveys in New Ash Green
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
How we price roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to let us know when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Signs you need a roof survey in New Ash Green
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
Anyone responsible for a site like New Ash Green Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What happens after the report arrives
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near New Ash Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Advice
New Ash Green: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in New Ash Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Longfield station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. That’s why we look at them closely.
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at. We note any lean or loose pots.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in New Ash Green
The wider area around New Ash Green has a long history of building, with Cobham College about 4.3 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Living close to Rectory Meadow is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. The streets around a church like Parish Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
