New roof snagging in Biddenden Green
Our report records what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you are worried about untidy or loose verge details and signs of condensation in the roof space, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Biddenden Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

FAQs for Biddenden Green
Is Biddenden Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Biddenden Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Biddenden Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
New roof snagging in Biddenden Green: local notes
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. For landlords with property near Pluckley station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Biddenden Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Why it’s worth a survey now in Biddenden Green
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. For an older or listed building in a place like Biddenden Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
