Your questions about new roof snagging in North Street
Is North Street within the area you cover?
Yes, North Street is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Street?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
About our new roof snagging in North Street
We carry out new roof snagging in North Street and across London and South East England. A visit usually 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 looked at, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’re worried about verge tiles or slates not secured and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys alike.
Some older homes in villages like North Street are listed or sit 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 is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

New roof snagging around North Street
North Street lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you let a flat or house near Gillingham (Kent) station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Details hidden from sight

- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs

What happens on the day
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like North Street, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Why it’s worth a survey now in North Street
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. In a place like North Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Surveys seven days a week

How we price new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Book snagging before the final payment
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
