New Roof Snagging in Chambers' Green
We carry out new roof snagging in Chambers' Green and the rest of Kent. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
What you can safely check yourself
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
About our new roof snagging in Chambers' Green
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Common reasons to book are gaps at new flashings and tiles or slates sitting out of line, across new-build homes, new flat roofs and ridges and verges.
In a village or hamlet like Chambers' Green, 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

New roof snagging in Chambers' Green: local notes
The wider area around Chambers' Green has a long history of building, with Godinton House about 3.7 miles east. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Pluckley station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Chambers' Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about parking before the day
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Getting a price
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We look at it where it can be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong, so we look at them carefully.

Useful tips for Chambers' Green property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Diary the defects period end date
- Look for new stains after a downpour
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Why act early in Chambers' Green
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What you get with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- A photo-illustrated written report

Your questions about new roof snagging in Chambers' Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Chambers' Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Chambers' Green?
Yes. Chambers' Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
