New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Godden Green
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Typical surveys look at signs of condensation in the roof space and gutters blocked by building debris, on loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new-build homes.
In a village or hamlet like Godden Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. 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.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Buying a home or a new roof in Godden Green
The wider area around Godden Green has a long history of building, with Knole House about 1 mile south-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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.
For landlords with property near Bat & Ball station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Older and listed buildings around Godden Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices quoted always include 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.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are checked.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Godden Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets in another room

Questions from Godden Green
Will you come out to Godden Green?
Yes. Godden Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Godden Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
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 is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
