New roof snagging in Bullingstone, Kent

- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Gaps at new flashings
How new roof snagging works in Bullingstone
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Common reasons to book are underlay ending short at the eaves and gaps at new flashings, across new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
Somewhere as small as Bullingstone, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
Do you need new roof snagging in Bullingstone?
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
Common reasons to book include:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Gaps at new flashings
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
What to check before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Are they insured for the work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether VAT is added on top

Common questions in Bullingstone
Is my home in Bullingstone listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Bullingstone in the area you cover?
Yes, Bullingstone is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Bullingstone as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Bullingstone?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How long will you be on site?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Why act early in Bullingstone
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bullingstone can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- More than 20 years surveying roofs

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. 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 what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Find any records of previous roof work

New roof snagging in Bullingstone: local notes
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Historic houses like Penshurst Place, about 2.2 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Bullingstone goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
