About our new roof snagging in Anvil Green
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’re worried about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Anvil Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Anvil Green
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- When you need the report by
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. They get close attention.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are looked at.
Anvil Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Anvil Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Anvil Green?
Yes, Anvil Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Anvil Green as anywhere else.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Diary the defects period end date
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.

What else we do in Anvil Green
New roof snagging in Anvil Green: local notes
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
