How new roof snagging works in Colliers Green
Our snagging inspections cover Colliers Green and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and gaps at new flashings.
Somewhere as small as Colliers Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a small place like Colliers Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder

Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Colliers Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Also in Colliers Green
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What new roof snagging looks like in Colliers Green
About 4.9 miles south-west lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Colliers Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.

Questions from Colliers Green
How do I find out if my home in Colliers Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Colliers Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
