How new roof snagging works in Hextable
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and loose or badly finished ridge tiles.
In a smaller place like Hextable, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a careful look. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hextable
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Hextable, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why book us in Hextable

- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a smaller place like Hextable, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a report with photographs of each snag.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Local roofs and buyers in Hextable
About 2.7 miles north lies Hall Place and Gardens, a reminder of how long the area around Hextable has been built on. 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. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you let a flat or house near Swanley 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 St Peter, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Useful tips for Hextable property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check the roof before you pay in full
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it is right.
What we can’t see
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
