Landlord roof survey in Bullingstone
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told beforehand. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’re worried about leaking joints at party walls and damp or stains in top-floor flats, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Bullingstone, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What else we do in Bullingstone
What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. For an older or listed building in a place like Bullingstone, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Take a look at our cost guide or two real surveys.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Bullingstone
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Tunbridge Wells station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Do you cover smaller places like Bullingstone?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Bullingstone
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses such as Penshurst Place, about 2.2 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Bullingstone goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Tunbridge Wells station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you run a business near Royal Victoria Place, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- File each roof report for future reference
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Arrange flat access in advance
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. 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. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
