What new roof snagging doesn’t cover

- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point

New roof snagging in Bexon: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are tiles or slates sitting out of line and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, across new-build homes, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like Bexon makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Do you need new roof snagging in Bexon?
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What experience they bring
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Prices for new roof snagging in Bexon
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What kind of property and roof it is
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. For an older or listed building in a place like Bexon, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Bexon, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Buying a home or a new roof in Bexon
Bexon is within about 5 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a careful look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
Landlords with a home close to Sittingbourne station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Bexon questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bexon?
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.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bexon?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Bexon?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
