Roof Condition Report in Kent
Detailed written report on your roof's current condition
The RoofVue Roof Condition Report is our most comprehensive assessment product, designed to give homeowners, insurance professionals and property managers a thorough, evidence-based understanding of a roof's current condition.
Using our CAA-licensed drones, we conduct a meticulous aerial survey of your roof across all elevations, capturing high-definition imagery that is then used to produce a detailed written condition report. Unlike a basic survey that simply notes defects, our Roof Condition Report provides a graded assessment of each roof section and component — tiles, slates, ridge tiles, hip tiles, valleys, lead flashings, chimney stacks, parapet walls, gutters and downpipes — using a standardised severity scale from 1 (excellent) to 5 (immediate action required).
This structured approach makes the report invaluable for insurance purposes, where insurers need clear evidence of pre-existing condition, and for property managers overseeing multiple Kent properties who need to prioritise maintenance budgets across a portfolio. The report is also frequently used alongside conveyancing processes and planning applications involving roof alterations.
We cover all property types and all areas of Kent, from the Medway towns and Maidstone through to Canterbury, the Thanet coast, the Weald and the Romney Marsh.

Frequently Asked Questions — Roof Condition Report in Kent
What is a Roof Condition Report and how is it different from a basic survey?+
A RoofVue Roof Condition Report goes beyond a basic survey by providing a structured, graded written assessment of every roof component — tiles, flashings, gutters, chimneys and more — using a severity scale of 1–5. It's particularly useful for insurance, planning, or portfolio management purposes across Kent properties.
How much does a Roof Condition Report cost in Kent?+
RoofVue's Roof Condition Reports start from £199 for standard residential properties in Kent. The price reflects the additional report preparation time compared to a basic survey. We cover all areas of Kent including Maidstone, Canterbury, Sevenoaks and the Thanet coast.
Is a Roof Condition Report accepted by insurance companies?+
Our Roof Condition Reports provide photographic evidence and graded assessments that are suitable for supporting insurance claims and renewal applications. We recommend checking with your specific insurer, but our reports are routinely used for insurance purposes by Kent homeowners and landlords.
How quickly will I receive my Roof Condition Report?+
You will receive your completed Roof Condition Report as a professionally formatted PDF within 48 hours of the drone survey. We cover all of Kent — from Dartford and Swanley to Canterbury, Folkestone and the Romney Marsh — and our 48-hour turnaround applies across all locations.
What grading system does RoofVue use in their condition reports?+
We use a standardised 1–5 severity scale: Grade 1 (Excellent), Grade 2 (Good), Grade 3 (Fair — monitor), Grade 4 (Action recommended), Grade 5 (Immediate action required). Each roof component is individually graded with supporting photographic evidence in our Kent reports.
Can I use a Roof Condition Report for planning permission in Kent?+
Yes — RoofVue Roof Condition Reports can be submitted as supporting evidence for planning applications involving roof works or extensions in Kent. We cover all Kent planning authority areas including Maidstone Borough, Canterbury City Council, Ashford Borough and the Medway towns.
Can a Roof Condition Report be used for property valuations?+
Our reports provide objective evidence of roof condition that can inform property valuations, particularly for older properties in Kent where the roof is a significant cost factor. Estate agents and surveyors across Maidstone, Canterbury and Sevenoaks regularly recommend our reports.
Do you provide follow-up surveys after a Roof Condition Report?+
Yes — we recommend a follow-up survey 12–24 months after the initial report to track any changes in condition. This is particularly valuable for landlords and property managers with portfolios across Kent, as it creates a documented maintenance history for each property.
