Bredgar: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bredgar?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
How do I find out if my home in Bredgar is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Do you work in Bredgar?
Yes. We survey roofs in Bredgar and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across London and the South East. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
New roof snagging in Bredgar
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. We are often asked to look into vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and tiles or slates sitting out of line, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and new flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Bredgar, homes are frequently 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 are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Bredgar can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Signs you need new roof snagging in Bredgar
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gaps at new flashings
- Untidy or loose verge details
Landlords with a home close to Sittingbourne station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What affects the price in Bredgar

- House, block, shop or office

- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Local roofs and buyers in Bredgar
Bredgar lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, so exposed details get a proper look whether you are buying or signing off new work. 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. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
