FAQs for Broom Street
Will you come out to Broom Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broom Street?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
About our new roof snagging in Broom Street
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey ridges and verges, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and flashings not properly dressed or fixed.
For a small place like Broom Street, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Buying a home or a new roof in Broom Street
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Broom Street, 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. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. If you own a rental within reach of Faversham station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Broom Street is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Broom Street can all book new roof snagging, with a written report and photographs every time. Across Kent, we cover Broom Street and the places around it. There is also a page for Canterbury.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey typically takes an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Broom Street, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Find any records of previous roof work
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

What we cannot see
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- Replacement roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How big the roof is
- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What we need to know
We will typically ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Useful tips for Broom Street property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- File all paperwork for the new roof
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
