What we’re asked to look at in Eyhorne Street
Most homeowners can’t get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from ground level and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Look out for signs like these:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
If you own a rental within reach of Hollingbourne station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

About our new roof snagging in Eyhorne Street
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’ve noticed loose or badly finished ridge tiles and broken coverings left on a new roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers alike.
For a small place like Eyhorne Street, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

How we price new roof snagging
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- House, block, shop or office
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The address and postcode of the property
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Useful tips for Eyhorne Street property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
New roof snagging in Eyhorne Street: local notes
With Leeds Castle about 0.9 miles south, Eyhorne Street 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. 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.
The streets around a church like All Saints Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Eyhorne Street is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Eyhorne Street gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful look at everything that’s safely in view, photographs and a clear written report. We cover towns and villages across Kent.
Here we cover the ME17 postcode area for new roof snagging. We offer new roof snagging to properties on Eyhorne Street, Tile Fields and Tile Fields Close and the roads around them. If you are just outside Eyhorne Street, we cover Hollingbourne (1 mile north-east), Ashbank (1 mile south-west), Broomfield (1 mile south), Leeds (1 mile south-west) and Broad Street (1 mile north).

What’s near Eyhorne Street
We work in homes and buildings around Glyder House Sugar Loaves Public House. There’s a railway station in Eyhorne Street itself: Hollingbourne station. Nearby you will also find KIMS hospital (3.6 miles north-west) and Leeds Castle (0.9 miles south). For a walk, there is Detling Hill.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Eyhorne Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Why it’s worth a survey now in Eyhorne Street
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a place like Eyhorne Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Eyhorne Street: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Eyhorne Street?
Yes, Eyhorne Street is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Eyhorne Street listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
