Why it is worth a survey now in Leigh Green
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Leigh Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Leigh Green
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’re worried about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs alike.
Being in a small place like Leigh Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at 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.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

When to book a survey in Leigh Green
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Common reasons to book include:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you let a flat or house near Appledore (Kent) station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:

New roof snagging around Leigh Green
The wider area around Leigh Green has a long history of building, with Smallhythe Place about 1.9 miles south. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mildred: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How the survey changes by roof type

Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly as far as safe access allows.
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We check it where it can be seen.

How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building.

- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Leigh Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Leigh Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Leigh Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Leigh Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
