New Roof Snagging in Northfleet Green
Need new roof snagging in Northfleet Green? We can help, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Northfleet Green
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey new-build homes, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and flashings not properly dressed or fixed.
For a small place like Northfleet Green, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Common questions in Northfleet Green
How do I find out if my home in Northfleet Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Northfleet Green, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
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.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you cover Northfleet Green for new roof snagging?
Yes. Northfleet Green is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Northfleet Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Leave it or get it looked at?
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. For an older or listed building in a place like Northfleet Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. They’re photographed for the report.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
What new roof snagging looks like in Northfleet Green
Northfleet Green lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Historic houses such as Cobham College, about 3.2 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Northfleet Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Ebbsfleet International station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
