Why it is worth a survey now in Branbridges
A defects or warranty period does not last for ever. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. For an older or listed building in a place like Branbridges, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

How new roof snagging works in Branbridges
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. If you are worried about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and new-build homes alike.
Being in a small place like Branbridges makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What affects the price in Branbridges
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Branbridges, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
Branbridges questions
Is Branbridges in the area you cover?
Yes, Branbridges is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you come out to Branbridges?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What do you check on a new roof?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
What we can’t see
It is a careful look at the new roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Pricing the remedial work
- Details hidden from sight

Roof by roof
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings frequently show up on new roofs. We photograph any we find.
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
New roof snagging around Branbridges
Old Soar Manor, about 4.9 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Branbridges. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you own a rental within reach of Beltring station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
