New roof snagging in Bogle: what you get
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed missing or blocked roof ventilation and gaps at new flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Bogle are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Bogle homes and their roofs
Bogle is within about 3 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Questions from Bogle
Will you come out to Bogle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is the coastal weather around Bogle hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
How long will you be on site?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea when booking.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs for you to pass to your builder.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. In a small place like Bogle, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why us?
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Surveys on any day of the week
- An independent view of the roof
See our cost guide or two real surveys.
How it works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Bogle can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Arrange a survey
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

What we’re asked to look at in Bogle
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
Look out for signs like these:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
Belmont House and Gardens lies about 4 miles south-east, so building around Bogle goes back a long way. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How soon the report will arrive
Checking the roof from the ground
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
What affects the price in Bogle
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Height and safe access
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
