New Roof Snagging in Fleeden
Know where you stand with the new roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out new roof snagging in Fleeden.
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Fleeden, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Advice
About our new roof snagging in Fleeden
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are debris left in gutters or valleys and flashings not properly dressed or fixed.
Older buildings in small places like Fleeden may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Common roof problems in Fleeden
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong, especially when the weather is against them.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Damage to other parts of the building
For landlords with property near Pluckley station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
New roof snagging around Fleeden
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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Godinton House, about 2.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Fleeden. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.

FAQs for Fleeden
Do you cover Fleeden?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Fleeden is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Fleeden?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Fleeden
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Why act early in Fleeden
Raising snags before the final payment is typically simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. Around Fleeden, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
