Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Park Farm
We survey roofs in Park Farm and across London and the South East. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We survey flat roofs, lead flashings and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about torn or sagging underlay and leaning or weathered chimney stacks.
In a smaller place like Park Farm, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it’s relevant. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Natural slate
Slate is one of the most durable roof coverings, but its nails often corrode first. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.

Roof surveys around Park Farm
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Michael: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Shop and office owners around Ashford Designer Outlet may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up. With lower homes, common in places like Park Farm, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.

- A structural engineer’s report

What we look at
- Clay and concrete tiles
- The roof space
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Flat roofs
- Natural slate
- Chimney stacks
- Lead flashings
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Park Farm, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
