New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Lamberhurst Quarter
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a report with photos to share with your roofer. If you’re worried about loose flashings at walls or chimneys and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Lamberhurst Quarter, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Lamberhurst Quarter, the journey is planned beforehand: 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’s safe.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Advice
Buying a home or a new roof in Lamberhurst Quarter
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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. About 2.7 miles south-east lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Lamberhurst Quarter has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

What else we do in Lamberhurst Quarter
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.

Common reasons to book include:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Damage to other parts of the building
