New roof snagging in East Langdon
Homeowners 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 including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed signs of condensation in the roof space and damage to other parts of the building, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Somewhere as small as East Langdon, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Common questions in East Langdon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Langdon?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around East Langdon, take more of a battering?
It can do. East Langdon is within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.

What else we do in East Langdon
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near East Langdon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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 the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

What new roof snagging looks like in East Langdon
The coast is about 3 miles or less from East Langdon, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, so exposed details get a careful look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. 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 Martin Mill station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If you live in an older home near Church of St Augustine, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that do not sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Landlord and commercial surveys in East Langdon
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like East Langdon, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
