About our new roof snagging in Garlinge Green
We carry out new roof snagging in Garlinge Green and across London and the South East. Time on site usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you are worried about missing or blocked roof ventilation and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Garlinge Green, 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. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What we are asked to look at in Garlinge Green
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
If you let a flat or house near Chartham station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What insurance they carry

New roof snagging in Garlinge Green: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll 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.
For any home in Garlinge Green, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Garlinge Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
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. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
Garlinge Green questions
Is Garlinge Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Garlinge Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Garlinge Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Garlinge Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photos to raise with the builder.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
