- Untidy or loose verge details
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
New roof snagging in Bullockstone: what you get
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Typical surveys look at cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, across new-build homes, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Bullockstone may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Roof by roof
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it’s visible.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. We look at the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Local roofs and buyers in Bullockstone
Bullockstone lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Landlords with a home close to Herne Bay station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Martin, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.

FAQs for Bullockstone
How do I find out if my home in Bullockstone is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Is the coastal weather around Bullockstone hard on roofs?
It can do. Bullockstone is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Do you cover Bullockstone?
Yes. Bullockstone is part of the area we cover.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Bullockstone, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
