About our new roof snagging in Boughton Corner
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and debris left in gutters or valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys alike.
Older buildings in small places like Boughton Corner may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Common questions in Boughton Corner
Do you carry out roof surveys in Boughton Corner?
Yes, Boughton Corner is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Boughton Corner listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Buying a home or a new roof in Boughton Corner
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. About 4.4 miles south-west lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around Boughton Corner has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Wye station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. Take an older house close to All Saints’ Church: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Boughton Corner can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Honest limits
A survey is a proper look at the new roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Pricing the remedial work
