About our new roof snagging in High Halden
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you are worried about signs of condensation in the roof space and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like High Halden may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.

Common questions in High Halden
How do I find out if my home in High Halden is listed?
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 you cover High Halden?
Yes, High Halden is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How do I book a survey in High Halden?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The roof’s overall size
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

High Halden homes and their roofs
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Historic houses such as Smallhythe Place, about 4.6 miles south, show how far back building in the area around High Halden goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church like Parish Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
