How a roof survey works in Bloodden
We survey roofs in Bloodden and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We survey flat roofs, chimney stacks and lead flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose ridge or hip tiles and valley linings that have cracked or split.
In a small place like Bloodden, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What affects the price in Bloodden
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The roof’s overall size
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Roof surveys around Bloodden
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Adisham Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Adisham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Your questions about roof surveys in Bloodden
Do you cover smaller places like Bloodden?
Yes, Bloodden is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bloodden?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
How long does the visit take?
The visit normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea of timing when booking.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We don’t give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Signs you need a roof survey in Bloodden
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
Goodnestone Park, about 1.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bloodden. If your house is among the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Bloodden often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.
Advice
Useful tips for Bloodden property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
