About our new roof snagging in Mile Oak
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on in good time. We survey loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are untidy or loose verge details and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
For a small place like Mile Oak, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, 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, Saturdays and Sundays.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Mile Oak, 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.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs from safe vantage points.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Mile Oak
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.

Mile Oak homes and their roofs
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
For an older house near a landmark like St Andrew's Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
