Your questions about roof surveys in Vigo Village
Will you come out to Vigo Village?
Yes, Vigo Village is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.

Roof survey in Vigo Village: what you get
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photos and a recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away from the wall and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Vigo Village are 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How we price roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- House, block, shop or office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Anything about access we should know
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Local roofs in Vigo Village
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The wider area around Vigo Village has a long history of building, with Cobham College about 4.4 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Take a building like Vigo Village School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Living close to Trosley Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Vigo Village can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Check pets are kept safely away
Book a survey
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know where you stand. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Vigo Village
Before you put a home on the market, it’s useful to know the roof’s condition. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. In a place like Vigo Village, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
