How new roof snagging works in Egerton Forstal
We carry out new roof snagging in Egerton Forstal and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and tiles or slates sitting out of line, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Egerton Forstal 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. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Egerton Forstal can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.

When to book a survey in Egerton Forstal
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
Look out for signs like these:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Gaps at new flashings
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
If you own a rental within reach of Pluckley station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether you get a written report with photos

Older and listed buildings around Egerton Forstal may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.

Local roofs and buyers in Egerton Forstal
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
The streets around a church such as Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
