New roof snagging in Milton Regis: local notes
Milton Regis is within about 2 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Sittingbourne station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

About our new roof snagging in Milton Regis
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. You then get a report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re often asked to look into poorly finished verges and missing or blocked roof ventilation, across new-build homes, new flat roofs and ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Milton Regis may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Getting in touch
We will typically ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
FAQs for Milton Regis
Is my home in Milton Regis listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is the coastal weather around Milton Regis hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it normally shows.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Milton Regis?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is checked where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a hamlet or village like Milton Regis, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
