New Roof Snagging in Conyer

New roof snagging in Conyer
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. If you’re worried about gutters blocked by building debris and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Conyer makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

FAQs for Conyer
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Conyer, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it normally shows, and Conyer is within about 1 mile of the coast.
Is Conyer within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Conyer
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Outbuildings and barns around Conyer are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Why book us in Conyer
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Conyer
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Conyer needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Check pets are kept safely away

Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
New roof snagging in Conyer: local notes
Conyer lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea. 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. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Landlords with a home close to Teynham station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
