Roof by roof

Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. They’re recorded with photos.
About our new roof snagging in Eddington
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’re worried about untidy or loose verge details and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new-build homes alike.
Houses in smaller places like Eddington can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather usually shows first. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a close look. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How we price new roof snagging
To price your survey, we look at:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

FAQs for Eddington
Will you come out to Eddington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is my home in Eddington listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
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.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- Ridges and verges
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Why get it checked now?
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. With lower homes, common in places like Eddington, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
For a price for your roof in Eddington, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

What new roof snagging looks like in Eddington
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Eddington, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a proper look whether you are buying or signing off new work. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take an older house close to Church of St Martin: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. For landlords with property near Herne Bay station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Eddington, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
