New roof snagging in Iden Green: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in Iden Green and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Typical surveys look at cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
Somewhere as small as Iden Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
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.

What new roof snagging looks like in Iden Green
With Great Dixter about 4.2 miles south, Iden Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.

How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Iden Green 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’s safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know about parking before the day
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. In a small place like Iden Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What you get with us

What we can’t see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flashings and valleys
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
Common roof problems in Iden Green
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Take an older house close to Church of St George: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Iden Green
Is Iden Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Iden Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Iden Green as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Iden Green?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
