Roof Survey in Teynham Street
Know where you stand with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out roof surveys in Teynham Street, with photos and a clear written report.
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Teynham Street
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We are frequently asked to look into slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and torn or sagging underlay, across lead flashings, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The written findings come 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.

Common roof problems in Teynham Street
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Loose chimney pots
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
Anyone responsible for a site like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Common questions in Teynham Street
Will you come out to Teynham Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Teynham station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What a roof survey looks like in Teynham Street
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Teynham Street, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.8 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Teynham Street goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Teynham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Teynham Street is about 3 miles north-west of Faversham, in Kent. Teynham Street is part of the area we cover across London and South East England. Our Kent coverage includes Teynham Street and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.

Why it is worth a survey now in Teynham Street
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere as small as Teynham Street, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
