New roof snagging in Borough Green
Our snagging inspections cover Borough Green and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are signs of condensation in the roof space and poorly finished verges.
In a smaller place like Borough Green, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are looked at closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Around Borough Green, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Buying a home or a new roof in Borough Green
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. The wider area around Borough Green has a long history of building, with Old Soar Manor about 2.1 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

The streets around a church like The Church of the Good Shepherd are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Being in a smaller place like Borough Green doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
