FAQs for Queenborough
I let a flat near Queenborough station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Queenborough listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Queenborough
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. Common reasons to book are cracked mortar along the ridge and flashings that have come away from the wall, across flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings.
In a smaller place like Queenborough, 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, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

How we price roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
What to let us know when you contact us
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- What made you get in touch
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
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.
Why act early in Queenborough
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. Arranging work in a smaller place like Queenborough is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a smaller place like Queenborough, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Getting a price
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Queenborough is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Landlords with a home close to Queenborough station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
