New roof snagging in Hammill Park, Kent
Know where you stand with the new roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out new roof snagging in Hammill Park.
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
What we are asked to look at in Hammill Park
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- When you’ll get the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
New roof snagging in Hammill Park: what you get
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. Typical surveys look at gaps at new flashings and damage to other parts of the building, on replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs.
Being in a small place like Hammill Park 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 as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Hammill Park

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Common questions in Hammill Park
Do you cover smaller places like Hammill Park?
Yes, Hammill Park is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hammill Park?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
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.
Honest limits
A survey is a careful look at the new roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Legal advice on your contract
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Hammill Park can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking before the day
How to book

Buying a home or a new roof in Hammill Park
Across Kent, older roofs are often 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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 2.6 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Hammill Park goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Sandwich station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
