Roof Survey in Bogle
Not sure what state the roof is in? You can book a roof survey in Bogle and across Kent, with plain-English findings.
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
What we look for on each type of roof
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Widespread slipping typically points to corroded nails, and we say how widespread it looks.
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are checked, as far as we can safely see them. We note any lean or loose pots.
How a roof survey works in Bogle
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, for roofs that are hard to see well. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. Typical surveys look at leaking gutter joints and downpipes and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, across chimney stacks, lead flashings and flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Bogle, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Your questions about roof surveys in Bogle
Do you cover smaller places like Bogle?
Yes, Bogle is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bogle?
Often, yes. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Bogle is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We don’t put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
Bogle homes and their roofs
Bogle is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain. Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, about 4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Bogle goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Teynham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Bogle is about 3 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We survey roofs in Bogle and the rest of Kent. Bogle is one of the places in Kent where we work. There’s also a page for Maidstone.
Surveys in ME9 are booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need a roof survey at a property on Lynsted Lane and Bogle Road or a nearby road, we can survey it. If you’re just outside Bogle, we cover Lynsted (1 mile south-west), Radfield (1 mile north-west), Bapchild (1 mile west), Rodmersham (1 mile west) and Erriottwood (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (12 miles west), Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (13 miles east), Sittingbourne (3 miles north-west), Whitstable (11 miles east) and Faversham (4 miles east).
Around Bogle
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Sittingbourne Community College and Black Lion Public House, among other places. The nearest railway station is Teynham station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Newnham Castle (2.3 miles south) and Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (2.6 miles north-west).
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Bogle. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Around Bogle, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere like Bogle needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
