Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep the contract and invoices together

- Book snagging before the final payment

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in North Street
We carry out new roof snagging in North Street and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed loose or badly finished ridge tiles and verge tiles or slates not secured, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like North Street makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- What’s under the new coverings
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Surveys for landlords and agents in North Street
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in North Street. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Local roofs and buyers in North Street
North Street lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, about 2 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around North Street goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St James, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you let a flat or house near Faversham station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
North Street is about 2 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in North Street can all book new roof snagging. Our Kent coverage includes North Street. We also survey roofs in Canterbury.

North Street questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Street?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in North Street?
It can do. North Street is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in North Street?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like North Street, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a report with photos of each snag.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.

Why it is worth a survey now in North Street
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Around North Street, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
