How new roof snagging works in Eastling
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. Common reasons to book are ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and new flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Eastling are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

New roof snagging in Eastling: local notes
About 1.4 miles east lies Belmont House and Gardens, a reminder of how long the area around Eastling has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Common questions in Eastling
Is Eastling within the area you cover?
Yes. Eastling is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you cover Eastling?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Eastling is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
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 as you book.
When should I book new roof snagging?
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.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How do I book a survey in Eastling?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Eastling, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Book a survey
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Useful tips for Eastling property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
Do you need new roof snagging in Eastling?
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
If you own a rental within reach of Teynham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
