Flat Roof Survey in Bullingstone
Know where you stand with the flat roof before you spend money on it. We carry out flat roof surveys in Bullingstone, with photographs and a clear written report.
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Blocked or damaged outlets
- Standing water left after rain
What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Somewhere as small as Bullingstone, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We look at the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

How a flat roof survey works in Bullingstone
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it is doing helps you plan what comes next. We survey single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are a sagging deck under the covering and pools of water lying on the roof.
Somewhere as small as Bullingstone, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Common questions in Bullingstone
Is Bullingstone within the area you cover?
Yes, Bullingstone is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bullingstone?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bullingstone as anywhere else.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.
Is a flat roof survey the same as a building survey?
No. It’s a survey of the flat roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building, and it is not a structural engineer’s report. It often sits alongside a buyer’s building survey.
Do you survey commercial flat roofs?
Yes. Offices, units, shops and blocks of flats are all part of our work. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Why act early in Bullingstone
By the time a flat roof leak shows indoors, water has already passed through the roof build-up. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, while there’s still time to plan the work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bullingstone can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How the survey changes by roof type
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. We record any we can see, with photos.
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs can last up to about 30 years when they’re laid well. Cracking where boards meet or where the deck moves is a common early sign of trouble.
Local flat roofs in Bullingstone
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Historic houses such as Penshurst Place, about 2.2 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Bullingstone goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. If you own a rental within reach of Tunbridge Wells station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you run a business near Royal Victoria Place, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks.

How we price flat roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The size of the roof
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
