How new roof snagging works in Nonington
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are underlay at the eaves left exposed and tiles or slates sitting out of line.
Some older homes in villages like Nonington are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Prices for new roof snagging in Nonington
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
- The address and postcode of the property
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Nonington, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Package prices that include VAT
- An independent look at the roof
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available

When to book a survey in Nonington
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Poorly finished verges
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If you let a flat or house near Aylesham station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Pricing the remedial work
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.

New roof snagging in Nonington: local notes
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’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 1.4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Nonington goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Nonington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Find any records of previous roof work

Nonington questions
Do you cover smaller places like Nonington?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Nonington is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We will give you an idea when you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
