New roof snagging in Felderland, Kent
Not sure what state the new roof is in? You can book new roof snagging in Felderland and across Kent.
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
About our new roof snagging in Felderland
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. Common reasons to book are poorly finished verges and tiles or slates sitting out of line, on replacement roofs, ridges and verges and new flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Felderland, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Felderland homes and their roofs
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Felderland, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, so exposed details get a careful look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
With Goodnestone Park about 4.7 miles west, the area around Felderland has a long history. If you are buying an older home nearby, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before you plan any re-roofing. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Why act early in Felderland
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. For older village homes like those around Felderland, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Felderland can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree what to focus on, like 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.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive

Advice
Felderland: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Felderland?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Will you come out to Felderland?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What affects the price in Felderland
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:

- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
