How new roof snagging works in Chart Sutton
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a report with photographs to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’ve noticed debris left in gutters or valleys and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Chart Sutton, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

FAQs for Chart Sutton
Is Chart Sutton in the area you cover?
Yes, Chart Sutton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Chart Sutton as anywhere else.
Is Chart Sutton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Chart Sutton homes and their roofs
About 2 miles north lies Stoneacre, a reminder of how long the area around Chart Sutton has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Take an older house close to Church of St Michael: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. For landlords with property near Bearsted station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Chart Sutton
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.

Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:

- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages

Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Somewhere as small as Chart Sutton, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree what to focus on, such as 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey

What happens if roof problems are left?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. For an older or listed building in a place like Chart Sutton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why us?
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- An independent view of the roof
- Package prices that include VAT
