Practical tips

How new roof snagging works in Crouch
Our snagging inspections cover Crouch and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed tiles or slates sitting out of line and gutters blocked by building debris, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Crouch 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’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Crouch, 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 start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- The roof 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

New roof snagging in Crouch: local notes
Across Kent, older roofs are often 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. Old Soar Manor, about 1 mile south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crouch. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Borough Green & Wrotham station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Crouch is about 6 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Bookings from Crouch are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Crouch is one of the places in Kent where we work for new roof snagging. Our Maidstone page covers surveys nearby.
We work across TN15 for new roof snagging and the streets around it. If you need new roof snagging at a property on Basted Lane and Long Mill Lane or anywhere close by, we can survey it. Nearby, we also carry out new roof snagging in Claygate Cross (1 mile west), Basted (1 mile north-west), Platt (1 mile north-east), Comp (1 mile north-east) and Borough Green (1 mile north). Further out, we also cover Maidstone (9 miles east), Dartford (12 miles north), Sevenoaks (6 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south), Gravesend (11 miles north) and Tonbridge (6 miles south).
Near you in Crouch
Around Crouch, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Wrotham School, Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve and The Chequers Inn, among other places. The nearest railway station is Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 1.2 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Sevenoaks Hospital (5.3 miles west) and Ightham Court (1.8 miles north-west).
Why it’s worth a survey now in Crouch
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crouch can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Crouch
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crouch?
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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Crouch?
Yes, Crouch is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
What new roof snagging does not cover
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Legal advice on your contract
- Details hidden from sight
- What’s under the new coverings
