About our new roof snagging in Great Mongeham
We carry out new roof snagging in Great Mongeham and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Great Mongeham makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What else we do in Great Mongeham
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Great Mongeham, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- 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 report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

New roof snagging in Great Mongeham: local notes
Great Mongeham lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a close look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Historic houses like Walmer Castle, about 2 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Great Mongeham goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Walmer station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Great Mongeham is about 1 mile west of Deal, in Kent. We survey roofs in Great Mongeham and the rest of Kent. Our area takes in places right across Kent. We also survey roofs in Canterbury.
Surveys in CT14 are booked the same way as anywhere else. You will find streets such as Church Path, Northbourne Road and Mongeham Road, and we cover them all. Close by, we survey roofs in Mill Hill (1 mile east), Sholden Meadows (1 mile north-east), Sholden (1 mile north-east), Ripple (1 mile south) and Northbourne (1 mile north-west). We also work in nearby towns like Canterbury (13 miles west), Margate (12 miles north), Dover (6 miles south-west), Folkestone (12 miles south-west), Ramsgate (9 miles north) and Broadstairs (11 miles north).
Near you in Great Mongeham
Around Great Mongeham, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Betteshanger Park, Castle Community College and The Mill Inn, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Walmer station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Deal Castle (1.9 miles east) and Kent Museum of the Moving Image (1.8 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Monk's Wall nature reserve.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Why it is worth a survey now in Great Mongeham
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where applicable. In a small place like Great Mongeham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Questions from Great Mongeham
Is the coastal weather around Great Mongeham hard on roofs?
Frequently, yes. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Great Mongeham is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Is Great Mongeham within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
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.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Great Mongeham
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, particularly when the weather is against them.
Common reasons to book include:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Martin, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before you book anyone
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
