New roof snagging in Kennington, Kent
Find out what’s going on with the new roof before you spend money on it. We carry out new roof snagging in Kennington.
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. In a smaller place like Kennington, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.

About our new roof snagging in Kennington
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Kennington, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. That applies whether you are buying in Kennington or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

When to book a survey in Kennington
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What the survey won’t cover
- Will the report include photos?
What affects the price in Kennington
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Which survey package you book
- The roof’s overall size
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window

- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The property’s address and postcode
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know the cost up front. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Questions from Kennington
Do you carry out roof surveys in Kennington?
Yes, Kennington is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Kennington is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
How long will you be on site?
It normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Diary the defects period end date
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.

New roof snagging around Kennington
The wider area around Kennington has a long history of building, with Godinton House about 2.3 miles west. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.

Roof types and parts we check
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Kennington is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
