About our new roof snagging in Newingreen
We carry out new roof snagging in Newingreen and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where it applies. You then get a report with photographs. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed loose or badly finished ridge tiles and debris left in gutters or valleys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Newingreen 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

New roof snagging in Newingreen: local notes
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Newingreen, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you live in an older home near Pedlinge Chapel, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you let a flat or house near Westenhanger station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Newingreen, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Newingreen
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.

Questions from Newingreen
How do I find out if my home in Newingreen is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is the coastal weather around Newingreen hard on roofs?
Frequently, yes. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Newingreen is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
