Common questions in Further Quarter
Is Further Quarter in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Further Quarter is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Further Quarter?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
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. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
About our new roof snagging in Further Quarter
We carry out new roof snagging in Further Quarter and across London and the South East. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’re worried about broken coverings left on a new roof and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Further Quarter, 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 as 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 on any day of the week.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can safely be seen.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check the roof before you pay in full
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Further Quarter, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Advice
What we’re asked to look at in Further Quarter
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
If you own a rental within reach of Pluckley station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Local roofs and buyers in Further Quarter
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.

Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Further Quarter, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
