New roof snagging in Meopham: what you get
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on before the deadline. We’re often asked to look into damage to other parts of the building and missing or blocked roof ventilation, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and new-build homes.
Around Meopham, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Questions from Meopham
How do I find out if my home in Meopham is listed?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Meopham?
Yes. Meopham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.

Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Arranging work in a smaller place like Meopham is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a smaller place like Meopham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What affects the price in Meopham
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
What we need to know
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.

New roof snagging around Meopham
About 1.8 miles north-east lies Cobham College, a reminder of how long the area around Meopham has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you own a rental within reach of Meopham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
