New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Charcott
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Common reasons to book are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
Being in a small place like Charcott makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Buying a home or a new roof in Charcott
The wider area around Charcott has a long history of building, with Chiddingstone Castle about 1.9 miles south-west. 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. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Landlords with a home close to Penshurst station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Charcott questions
Is Charcott within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Charcott?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Charcott is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.

Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely

Prices for new roof snagging in Charcott
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The size of the roof
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What we’re asked to look at in Charcott
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, especially when the weather is against them.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
Take an older house close to Church of St Luke: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
What to check before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like Charcott, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, 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 we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Why get it checked now?
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. Outbuildings and barns around Charcott are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
