New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Leadingcross Green
Our snagging inspections cover Leadingcross Green and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where it applies. You then get a written report with photographs. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We’re often asked to look into missing or blocked roof ventilation and poorly finished verges, on loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges.
Being in a small place like Leadingcross Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Should I look at the roof myself first?

Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
Buying a home or a new roof in Leadingcross Green
The wider area around Leadingcross Green has a long history of building, with Leeds Castle about 3.6 miles west. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary's Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Lenham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Prices for new roof snagging in Leadingcross Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How big the roof is
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Anything about access we should know
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Leadingcross Green
Will you come out to Leadingcross Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Leadingcross Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Leadingcross Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Useful tips for Leadingcross Green property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Leadingcross Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
