How a roof survey works in Pegwell
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. We survey natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and ridges, hips and valleys, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Pegwell may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Pegwell frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

What we are asked to look at in Pegwell
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Damp on a chimney breast inside frequently starts at the top of the stack.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Laurence, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

FAQs for Pegwell
I let a flat near Ramsgate station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Is the coastal weather around Pegwell hard on roofs?
Often, yes. Pegwell is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
When will the report arrive?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.

Other services in Pegwell
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Keep the report with your property records. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Pegwell
Pegwell is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Shop and office owners around Westwood Cross may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Quex Park, about 4.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pegwell. If yours is one of the older homes, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
