New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Eythorne
A new roof is a big spend, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. You get a report with photographs to share with your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you are worried about offcuts and broken tiles left behind and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it, on loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and new-build homes alike.
In a village or hamlet like Eythorne, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Eythorne often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.

Local roofs and buyers in Eythorne
About 3.6 miles north-west lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Eythorne has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Do you need new roof snagging in Eythorne?
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What follow-up you get after the report
Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. For an older or listed building in a place like Eythorne, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
