New roof snagging in Hinxhill
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. Typical surveys look at damage to other parts of the building and gaps at new flashings, across new flat roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes.
For a small place like Hinxhill, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

When you need someone else
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Flashings and valleys
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
Buying a home or a new roof in Hinxhill
The wider area around Hinxhill has a long history of building, with Godinton House about 4.3 miles west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own a rental within reach of Ashford International station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Hinxhill
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
Common reasons to book include:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
What to check before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Hinxhill, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

What else we do in Hinxhill
Questions from Hinxhill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hinxhill?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hinxhill?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Hinxhill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I book a survey in Hinxhill?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
