About our new roof snagging in Boughton Green
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. Common reasons to book are signs of condensation in the roof space and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Boughton Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, 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.
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.

Boughton Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Boughton Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Boughton Green is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like Boughton Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.

Useful tips for Boughton Green property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.

Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags frequently show on tiled roofs. We look at them closely.
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves to carry water off. We check it where it is visible.
Why get it checked now?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Older and listed buildings around Boughton Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Boughton Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Buying a home or a new roof in Boughton Green
The wider area around Boughton Green has a long history of building, with Stoneacre about 2.5 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. For an older house near a landmark such as Coxheath Congregational Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
