Graveney New Roof Snagging
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags around Graveney, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Rural addresses near Graveney can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

New roof snagging in Graveney: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are debris left in gutters or valleys and gaps at new flashings.
For a small place like Graveney, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.

Local roofs and buyers in Graveney
Graveney lies within about 2 miles of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. 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 check with the council.

Do you need new roof snagging in Graveney?
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
We are often asked to look at:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Graveney
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Graveney?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Graveney, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Graveney?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
