New roof snagging in Parkgate: what you get
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. Typical surveys look at cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and broken coverings left on a new roof, across new-build homes, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Some older homes in villages like Parkgate 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 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 happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Parkgate, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- 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 checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Diary the defects period end date

- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.

New roof snagging in Parkgate: local notes
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. The wider area around Parkgate has a long history of building, with Smallhythe Place about 3.7 miles south-east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Around Parkgate, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Why act early in Parkgate
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Around Parkgate, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Parkgate
Is Parkgate in the area you cover?
Yes, Parkgate is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Parkgate?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
