Egerton New Roof Snagging
New roof snagging around Egerton, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. 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 Egerton, 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 the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Advice
How new roof snagging works in Egerton
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and broken coverings left on a new roof.
For a small place like Egerton, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Prices for new roof snagging in Egerton
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
Landlords with a home close to Pluckley station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- What’s under the new coverings

Your questions about new roof snagging in Egerton
Is Egerton in the area you cover?
Yes, Egerton is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Egerton?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Egerton?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
New roof snagging in Egerton: local notes
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
The streets around a church like Church of St James are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
