Roof Inspections in Canterbury , Kent

For coastal properties, we recommend a professional check every two years, or after any period of particularly severe weather. The salt air and high winds in the CT5 and Thanet areas can accelerate the wear on mortar and fixings compared to inland properties.

We carry out a full visual assessment of all roof coverings (tiles, slates, or membranes), chimney stacks, leadwork, valleys, gutters, and fascias. We look for signs of water ingress, structural movement, and material fatigue.

Yes, if you are experiencing damp, we can inspect the roof and gutters to determine if the fault lies with the external covering. We provide a clear explanation of our findings and a quote for any remedial work needed to make the property watertight.

A basic visual roof inspection starts from £150, depending on the size and height of the property. This fee covers our time to attend the site, carry out the assessment, and provide you with a verbal or brief written summary of the roof's condition.

Our team is experienced in working on the multi-storey Victorian and Regency properties found in Margate and Ramsgate. We use safe access methods to ensure we get a close-up look at even the highest roof pitches and chimney stacks.

Yes, leak diagnosis is a core part of our inspection service. We track the path of the water from the internal ceiling back to the entry point on the roof, which is often further away than you might think.

We do. Heavy moss can hold moisture against your tiles and block your gutters. If we find significant moss build-up, we can include a quote for safe removal as part of our maintenance recommendations.

Where access is available, we like to check the underside of the roof from within the loft. This allows us to see if there is any light shining through, signs of rot in the timber battens, or dampness in the insulation that might not be visible from the outside.
