How new roof snagging works in Fenn Street
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about signs of condensation in the roof space and loose flashings at walls or chimneys.
In a village or hamlet like Fenn Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What this survey can’t tell you
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s under the new coverings
- Pricing the remedial work
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point

Prices for new roof snagging in Fenn Street
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

FAQs for Fenn Street
Do you cover smaller places like Fenn Street?
Yes, Fenn Street is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Fenn Street is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded as far as can be seen.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. For older village homes like those around Fenn Street, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Fenn Street often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, 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.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
New roof snagging in Fenn Street: local notes
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Fenn Street, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. If you own a rental within reach of Gillingham (Kent) station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
