New roof snagging in Culmers: what you get
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. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. We survey ridges and verges, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and signs of condensation in the roof space.
Being in a small place like Culmers makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Why it is worth a survey now in Culmers
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. For older village homes like those around Culmers, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How we price new roof snagging
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How big the roof is
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
New roof snagging in Culmers: local notes
Culmers is within about 3 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you let a flat or house near Faversham station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Culmers is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. We survey roofs in Culmers and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across London and the South East. Culmers is one of the towns and villages in Kent we cover. We also survey roofs in Canterbury.

What else we do in Culmers
Culmers: your questions answered
Is the coastal weather around Culmers hard on roofs?
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 Culmers is within about 3 miles of the coast.
Will you come out to Culmers?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Culmers, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
