- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Worn ridges, hips and verges

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Bullockstone frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

About our landlord roof survey in Bullockstone
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’re worried about leaks into upper flats and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Landlord roof surveys in Bullockstone: local notes
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Bullockstone, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Martin, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Herne Bay station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Thornden Wood Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Bullockstone is about 1 mile south-west of Herne Bay, in Kent. Bullockstone is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area across London and South East England. Bullockstone is one of the places in Kent we cover for landlord roof surveys.

FAQs for Bullockstone
Is my home in Bullockstone listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Bullockstone, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
How do I book a survey in Bullockstone?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Who usually books a landlord or block roof survey?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.

Roofs we survey in Bullockstone
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Older and listed buildings around Bullockstone may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
