Bexon Roof Survey
An experienced roof surveyor for roof surveys in Bexon. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Bexon, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Check pets are kept safely away
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Roof survey in Bexon
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on any day of the week, so it is easy to find a day that suits. Common reasons to book are crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and standing water on a flat roof, across clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys.
In a small place like Bexon, many roofs stand in the open, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in Bexon
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bexon?
Frequently, yes. Within about 5 miles of the sea, as Bexon is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Do you cover smaller places like Bexon?
Yes, Bexon is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does a roof survey include?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the loft space, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing is not part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Roof surveys around Bexon
Bexon lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Living close to Cromers Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. If you let a flat or house near Sittingbourne station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What’s near Bexon
Typical jobs here are in homes near Cromers Wood and Fulston Manor School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Sittingbourne station, roughly 2.9 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (2.8 miles north-east) and Bayford Court (3.1 miles north-east).
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Why act early in Bexon
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Older and listed buildings around Bexon may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

What a roof survey doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- A structural engineer’s report
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we can help you choose.
