How new roof snagging works in Monk's Hill
Our snagging inspections cover Monk's Hill and the rest of London and the South East. A visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where it applies. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Typical surveys look at damage to other parts of the building and untidy or loose verge details, on replacement roofs, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers.
Somewhere as small as Monk's Hill, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What happens if roof problems are left?
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. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Monk's Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Monk's Hill?
Yes, Monk's Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Monk's Hill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.

What else we do in Monk's Hill
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Monk's Hill can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
New roof snagging around Monk's Hill
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you let a flat or house near Headcorn station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- File all paperwork for the new roof
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
