About our new roof snagging in Linton
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a report with photos to share with your roofer. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about gaps at new flashings and underlay not dressed into the gutter.
Somewhere as small as Linton, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. 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, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

New roof snagging in Linton: local notes
Stoneacre, about 3.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Linton. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. 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 St Nicholas Church: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Why get it checked now?
Raising snags before the final payment is typically simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. In a place like Linton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Useful tips for Linton property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Keep warranty papers safe
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
What we cannot see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

Common questions in Linton
Is my home in Linton listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Linton?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Linton is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.

What else we do in Linton
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Prices for new roof snagging in Linton
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How big the roof is

- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
Helping us price your survey

- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Linton, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
