New roof snagging in Langley, Kent
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Langley and the rest of Kent. We survey seven days a week.
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are looked at.
About our new roof snagging in Langley
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
Older buildings in small places like Langley may be listed or 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 is 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.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Buying a home or a new roof in Langley
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. The wider area around Langley has a long history of building, with Stoneacre about 1.1 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Bearsted station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Langley often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
