About our new roof snagging in Edenbridge
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about offcuts and broken tiles left behind and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.
In a smaller place like Edenbridge, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a careful look. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. A visit to Edenbridge is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- 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 looked at.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Common questions in Edenbridge
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Edenbridge?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Edenbridge?
Yes, Edenbridge is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Edenbridge?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Look for new stains after a downpour
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.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.

Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Legal advice on your contract
- Details hidden from sight
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Why get it checked now?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Blocked gutters on homes around Edenbridge overflow and soak walls. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.

What new roof snagging looks like in Edenbridge
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. With Hever Castle about 2.4 miles south-east, Edenbridge sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Edenbridge Town station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Checking the roof from the ground
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
