New roof snagging in Broad Street, Kent
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in Broad Street, with photos and a written report.
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Untidy or loose verge details
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- House, block, shop or office
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
How new roof snagging works in Broad Street
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’re worried about offcuts and broken tiles left behind and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Broad Street may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Broad Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Booking a survey
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What we are asked to look at in Broad Street
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
We are often asked to look at:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
If you own a rental within reach of Hollingbourne station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
What to check before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What insurance they carry
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Landlords and agents in Broad Street book surveys as well as homeowners. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

FAQs for Broad Street
How do I find out if my home in Broad Street is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Broad Street in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you climb onto every 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.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Broad Street homes and their roofs
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. With Leeds Castle about 2.3 miles south, Broad Street sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Broad Street is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Surveys in Broad Street work the same way as everywhere we cover: a proper look at what can safely be seen, photos and a clear written report. We cover towns and villages across Kent.
