How new roof snagging works in Mundy Bois
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. Typical surveys look at poorly finished verges and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, on new-build homes, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs.
Somewhere as small as Mundy Bois, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often 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, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

New roof snagging in Mundy Bois: local notes
The wider area around Mundy Bois has a long history of building, with Godinton House about 5 miles east. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you let a flat or house near Pluckley station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What else we do in Mundy Bois
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Mundy Bois, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
How to book
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
Tips that help
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles as far as can be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. They’re recorded with photos.
Do you need new roof snagging in Mundy Bois?
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the survey will not cover
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Common questions in Mundy Bois
Is Mundy Bois in the area you cover?
Yes, Mundy Bois is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Mundy Bois is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe and check for damage left by the job.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
