How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: 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. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Cottages and farmhouses around Mountain Street often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
New roof snagging in Mountain Street: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and new-build homes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are untidy or loose verge details and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Older buildings in small places like Mountain Street 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’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

New roof snagging around Mountain Street
If your home is older, it’s 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. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. Landlords with a home close to Chilham station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How we price new roof snagging
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to let us know when you get in touch
We will usually ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. In a small place like Mountain Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

FAQs for Mountain Street
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mountain Street?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Mountain Street as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Mountain Street?
Yes, Mountain Street is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
