Roof survey in Mundy Bois: what you get
We inspect whatever is safely visible: 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, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey clay and concrete tiles, flat roofs and natural slate, and people most frequently book us about debris building up in roof valleys and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.
In a small place like Mundy Bois, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

FAQs for Mundy Bois
Is my home in Mundy Bois listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can a landlord with a rental near Pluckley station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
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.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. We note any lean or loose pots.
Natural slate
Inside the roof space, we check what’s under the slates. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Which survey package you book
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What made you get in touch
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Signs you need a roof survey in Mundy Bois
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Loose chimney pots
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Mundy Bois
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. With Godinton House about 5 miles east, Mundy Bois sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Pluckley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Around Mundy Bois, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
