About our new roof snagging in Hook Green
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’ve noticed gutters or fascias damaged during the job and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Hook Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Hook Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Local roofs and buyers in Hook Green
Hook Green is within about 5 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. The wider area around Hook Green has a long history of building, with Cobham College about 3.9 miles south-east. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What we’re asked to look at in Hook Green
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Poorly finished verges
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
Landlords with a home close to Longfield station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What else we do in Hook Green
Why it is worth a survey now in Hook Green
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hook Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What you get with us
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- More than 20 years surveying roofs

Your questions about new roof snagging in Hook Green
Is the coastal weather around Hook Green hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
How do I find out if my home in Hook Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
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, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
