Weddington Roof Survey
A careful look at the roof at your property in Weddington, with photos and a written report.
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a hamlet or village like Weddington, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Weddington
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages often have flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. Flat roofs frequently need attention long before the main roof. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. We are frequently asked to look into loose chimney pots and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, on natural slate, the roof space and clay and concrete tiles.
In a small place like Weddington, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Your questions about roof surveys in Weddington
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Weddington, take more of a battering?
It can do. Within about 5 miles of the sea, as Weddington is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it usually takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Report times depend on the package.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Weddington
Weddington lies within about 5 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain. Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 3.9 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Weddington goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Anyone responsible for a site like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Sandwich station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What affects the price in Weddington
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Which survey package you book
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Why it is worth a survey now in Weddington
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. In a small place like Weddington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
