New roof snagging in Moor Street: what you get
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. Typical surveys look at cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and gutters blocked by building debris, on loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Moor Street may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are checked.
For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Questions from Moor Street
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Moor Street, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Will you come out to Moor Street?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We don’t open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.

New roof snagging around Moor Street
Moor Street lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, 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. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Moor Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps 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, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- 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.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Moor Street
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. In a small place like Moor Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
