How a roof survey works in Bullockstone
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are worn lead at chimneys and abutments and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

FAQs for Bullockstone
Is Bullockstone within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it is safe to do so. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Bullockstone?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, 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.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Why act early in Bullockstone
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Outbuildings and barns around Bullockstone are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a village or hamlet like Bullockstone, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Advice
Roof surveys in Bullockstone: local notes
Bullockstone lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Anyone responsible for a site like Thornden Wood Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Homes near green spaces such as Curtis Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you live in an older home near Church of St Martin, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Useful tips for Bullockstone property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
