We put it right if it's not right
At Smith & Sons, we believe a roof inspection should give you honest information, not a sales pitch. Our team of experienced local roofers will assess your roof thoroughly, explain what they find in plain language, and give you clear options — whether that is a straightforward repair, ongoing monitoring, or a more significant programme of work. The decision is always yours.
We are Trading Standards Approved, giving you confidence that every inspection and any subsequent works are carried out fairly, transparently, and in line with recognised industry standards. Where we identify repairs that are needed, we will explain exactly what is required, why, and what it will cost before any work begins.
We regularly work on coastal properties and are familiar with the additional demands that exposure to coastal weather places on roofing materials and structures — making us well placed to inspect and advise on properties throughout Maidstone and the wider East Kent coastline.

60+ Years Experience
We offer a comprehensive roof inspection and survey service throughout Maidstone and the wider East Kent area. Every inspection is carried out by experienced roofers, and where access is difficult or unsafe, we use high-resolution drone technology to survey your roof safely without the need for scaffolding or ladders.
Identifying any tile movement or damage that could allow water to penetrate.
Checking for deterioration, cracking, or displacement along the ridge line.
Assessing the condition of chimney structures and the flashings that seal them to the roof.
Inspecting vulnerable junction points where water management is critical.
Checking the condition of flat roof membranes and surfaces for signs of deterioration or failure.
Identifying evidence of existing or historic water penetration.
Assessing any damage caused by recent or past weather events.
Following your inspection, you will receive a clear explanation of your roof's condition, photographic evidence where relevant, and honest repair recommendations. There is no obligation to proceed with any works.
Our roof repair services, carried out following inspection where required, cover all common roofing faults including broken or missing tile replacement, ridge tile re-bedding and pointing, lead flashing repairs, valley and joint repairs, flat roof leak repairs, gutter-related water ingress issues, and storm damage repairs.
A roof inspection is only as useful as the honesty and experience behind it. At Smith & Sons, we do not inspect roofs looking for work to sell — we inspect them to give you an accurate picture of where things stand. If your roof is in good condition, we will tell you. If there are issues that need addressing, we will explain them clearly, prioritise them honestly, and give you a fair price to put them right.
Our drone survey capability is a genuine advantage, particularly for roofs where access would otherwise require scaffolding. A drone inspection is faster, less disruptive, and often more comprehensive than a traditional inspection from roof level, and the high-resolution imagery means nothing gets missed.
Working across towns, villages, and rural areas throughout East Kent, we are experienced with the full range of property types and roofing systems found in the region — from traditional slate and tile on period properties through to modern flat-roof extensions and commercial units. Whatever your property type in Maidstone, we have the experience to assess it properly.
