New roof snagging in Curteis' Corner
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. 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 photographs, ready to pass on in good time. If you’ve noticed vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and tiles or slates sitting out of line, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Curteis' Corner, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access 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, Saturdays and Sundays.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Curteis' Corner, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us 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.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.

- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs

- Flashings and valleys
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges

Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
Common roof problems in Curteis' Corner
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of All Saints, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
Curteis' Corner: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Curteis' Corner?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Curteis' Corner?
Yes, Curteis' Corner is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How do I book a survey in Curteis' Corner?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Local roofs and buyers in Curteis' Corner
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
For landlords with property near Headcorn station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
