How new roof snagging works in Mott's Mill
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about gutters blocked by building debris and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Older buildings in small places like Mott's Mill 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. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Useful tips for Mott's Mill property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Diary the defects period end date
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
How it works
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. The whole visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Mott's Mill often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Checking the roof from the ground
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.

Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
New roof snagging in Mott's Mill: local notes
With Groombridge Place about 1.6 miles north-east, Mott's Mill sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Thomas the Apostle, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. If you own a rental within reach of Eridge station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
