New roof snagging in Brompton, Medway

New roof snagging in Brompton: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. If you are worried about damage to other parts of the building and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Smaller places like Brompton often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Brompton. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Local roofs and buyers in Brompton
Brompton lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, so exposed details get a close look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. With Restoration House about 1.1 miles west, Brompton sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Chatham station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. A visit to Brompton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Questions from Brompton
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Brompton?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Will you come out to Brompton?
Yes, Brompton is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Brompton
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Homes in smaller places like Brompton can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

When to book a survey in Brompton
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, especially when the weather is against them.
Common reasons to book include:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Take an older house close to Brompton Garrison Church: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
