New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Kettle Corner
We carry out new roof snagging in Kettle Corner and across London and the South East. A visit usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’re worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and broken coverings left on a new roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Kettle Corner are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

FAQs for Kettle Corner
Will you come out to Kettle Corner?
Yes, Kettle Corner is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Kettle Corner?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, 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, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
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.

What to let us know when you get in touch

New roof snagging in Kettle Corner: local notes
Historic houses like Stoneacre, about 4.7 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Kettle Corner goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Margaret, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Leave it or get it looked at?
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. For an older or listed building in a place like Kettle Corner, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Kettle Corner, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- 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 loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
