Prices for new roof snagging in Grove Green
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

New roof snagging in Grove Green
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you are worried about underlay ending short at the eaves and verge tiles or slates not secured, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Grove Green, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Why it is worth a survey now in Grove Green
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. With lower homes, common in places like Grove Green, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- Surveys seven days a week

Grove Green homes and their roofs
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. With Stoneacre about 2.5 miles south-east, Grove Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you let a flat or house near Bearsted station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Grove Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Grove Green?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Grove Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Grove Green?
Yes, Grove Green is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
