How new roof snagging works in Marden Beech
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you’ve noticed gutters blocked by building debris and signs of condensation in the roof space, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and replacement roofs alike.
For a small place like Marden Beech, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What new roof snagging looks like in Marden Beech
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Landlords with a home close to Marden station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. The streets around a church such as St Michael and All Angels Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
How we price new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The size of the roof
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?

Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
