New roof snagging in Loyterton: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a report with photos to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs alike.
For a small place like Loyterton, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags frequently show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Check the roof before you pay in full
You receive a report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
Questions from Loyterton
Do you cover smaller places like Loyterton?
Yes, Loyterton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is the coastal weather around Loyterton hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
New roof snagging around Loyterton
Loyterton lies within about 4 miles of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. With Belmont House and Gardens about 3.1 miles south-east, Loyterton sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Loyterton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Booking a survey
