New roof snagging in Adisham
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We are frequently asked to look into cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, on loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and new-build homes.
In a village or hamlet like Adisham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.

These details help when you contact us:

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Adisham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Legal advice on your contract
- Details hidden from sight
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check

Why get it checked now?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. For older village homes like those around Adisham, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Adisham
Is Adisham within the area you cover?
Yes. Adisham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Adisham in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Adisham is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Buying a home or a new roof in Adisham
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. With Goodnestone Park about 1.6 miles east, Adisham sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Adisham station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church like Church of the Holy Innocents are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
