About our new roof snagging in Hunton
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. We survey replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are broken coverings left on a new roof and loose or badly finished ridge tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Hunton are listed or sit 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’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- File all paperwork for the new roof
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there is time to raise anything.

- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay ending short at the eaves

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property

The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Hunton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
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.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Buying a home or a new roof in Hunton
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
