New Roof Snagging in Linkhill
New roof snagging across Linkhill, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
We’ll typically ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Linkhill
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you’ve noticed broken coverings left on a new roof and untidy or loose verge details, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys alike.
Somewhere as small as Linkhill, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How the survey changes by roof type
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.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Linkhill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Common questions in Linkhill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Linkhill?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Linkhill in the area you cover?
Yes, Linkhill is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Linkhill
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a small place like Linkhill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Buying a home or a new roof in Linkhill
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 1.8 miles south lies Great Dixter, a reminder of how long the area around Linkhill 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.
If you live in an older home near Mission Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
