How we price new roof snagging
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
How new roof snagging works in Hinxhill Park
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and people most frequently book us about verge tiles or slates not secured and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Older buildings in small places like Hinxhill Park may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

The survey, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Hinxhill Park needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Related advice
Roof by roof
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. We look at the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Common roof problems in Hinxhill Park
Flashings are a common source of snags. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
What to check before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether VAT is added on top

Hinxhill Park: your questions answered
Is my home in Hinxhill Park listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Hinxhill Park in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.

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, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. 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.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
