Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter

- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Ashford International station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

New roof snagging in Park Farm
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and untidy or loose verge details.
In a smaller place like Park Farm, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather normally shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Local roofs and buyers in Park Farm
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Historic houses such as Godinton House, about 3.1 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Park Farm goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Different roofs, different checks
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Being in a smaller place like Park Farm doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is looked at 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.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
