Cuxton New Roof Snagging
Wondering about the new roof at a property in Cuxton? We carry out new roof snagging in Cuxton and across Medway, with plain-English findings.
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Cuxton
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are missing or blocked roof ventilation and underlay not dressed into the gutter.
Older buildings in small places like Cuxton may be listed or 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 is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

New roof snagging around Cuxton
About 0.9 miles south lies Starkey Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Cuxton has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you let a flat or house near Cuxton station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

FAQs for Cuxton
Will you come out to Cuxton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cuxton?
Yes, Cuxton is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
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 leaves time to raise anything we find.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Cuxton
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. For older village homes like those around Cuxton, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- A written report with photos

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Cuxton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
