New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Eastwood
We carry out new roof snagging in Eastwood and across London and the South East. Time on site typically takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Common reasons to book are gutters blocked by building debris and untidy or loose verge details, across ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new-build homes.
Being in a small place like Eastwood makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
To price your survey, we look at:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- The size of the roof
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. We check them closely.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Eastwood needs a little journey planning: 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.
- 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.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Local roofs and buyers in Eastwood
Leeds Castle, about 3.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Eastwood. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Landlords with a home close to Harrietsham station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Outbuildings and barns around Eastwood are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Eastwood: your questions answered
Will you come out to Eastwood?
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 Eastwood?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Eastwood is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe and check for damage left by the job.
