Roof by roof
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are looked at.
About our new roof snagging in Hodsoll Street
A new roof is a big spend, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. Typical surveys look at flashings not properly dressed or fixed and underlay not dressed into the gutter, across replacement roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
In a village or hamlet like Hodsoll Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Local roofs and buyers in Hodsoll Street
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. About 4.5 miles north-east lies Cobham College, a reminder of how long the area around Hodsoll Street has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of Saint Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Hodsoll Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Yes, Hodsoll Street is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.

No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.

We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
