A professional roof inspection in Tunbridge Wells means getting on the roof — not a ground-level assessment. We inspect, photograph every area of concern and provide a written report within 24 hours. Pre-purchase, annual, post-storm or insurance — from £95. 5 miles south from Tonbridge.
Most Tunbridge Wells roofing problems are found too late because nobody got on the roof to look. An annual inspection costs less than one emergency call-out and prevents most of them.
Buying a Tunbridge Wells property? A roof survey before exchange identifies hidden defects — lead issues on victorian and edwardian villas and terraces are commonly missed by standard RICS surveys. Written report, photographs. From £120.
Annual inspection covering tiles, ridge, verge, valleys, flashings, gutters and any flat roof surfaces. Written report with prioritised action list. Most Tunbridge Wells maintenance issues caught at this stage cost £150–£400 to fix.
After a significant weather event, we inspect and document damage for insurance purposes. Written cost assessment provided on the same visit — the report your insurer needs.
Insurers increasingly require condition reports on older Tunbridge Wells properties before renewing cover. We provide written reports meeting standard insurer requirements.
Persistent or intermittent leak in Tunbridge Wells? We find the source — on-roof, not from the ground. Included free with any repair booking.
Before loft conversion, solar installation or extension work on a Tunbridge Wells property, a baseline roof condition survey prevents surprises during construction.
Inspection priorities in Tunbridge Wells depend on the housing era. On Victorian and Edwardian villas and terraces properties we focus on lead flashing failure on north-facing Victorian chimney stacks — the primary failure pattern in Tunbridge Wells. This requires on-roof inspection to assess correctly: ground-level or loft-only inspection misses it.
A secondary priority specific to Tunbridge Wells is valley blockage from Calverley Grounds and St Johns Park leaf fall in October. We lift representative tiles in multiple locations across each slope to assess fixing condition, inspect valley and flashing elements close-up, and check any flat roof surfaces for membrane condition. Written report within 24 hours, photographs of every finding.
