New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Marsh Green
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We’re frequently asked to look into gutters blocked by building debris and underlay ending short at the eaves, on new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
Being in a small place like Marsh Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.

What else we do in Marsh Green
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
When to book a survey in Marsh Green

What new roof snagging looks like in Marsh Green
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Hever Castle, about 2.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Marsh Green. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Edenbridge Town station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

FAQs for Marsh Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Marsh Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Marsh Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Marsh Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Marsh Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know about parking before the day
