New roof snagging around Cheeseman's Green
Godinton House, about 4.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cheeseman's Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. 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. 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.

New roof snagging in Cheeseman's Green
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on before the deadline. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Some older homes in villages like Cheeseman's Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Do you need new roof snagging in Cheeseman's Green?
Most householders cannot get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground before you pay.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Anything about access we should know
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Cheeseman's Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets in another room
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
