New roof snagging in Brenzett
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you are worried about tiles or slates sitting out of line and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Brenzett, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Common questions in Brenzett
Do you cover smaller places like Brenzett?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Brenzett?
Yes, Brenzett is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. We will give you an idea as you book.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What new roof snagging looks like in Brenzett
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. 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 like St Eanswith's Church, 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, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Brenzett often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

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
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. In a small place like Brenzett, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
When to book a survey in Brenzett
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
