Your questions about new roof snagging in Pearson's Green
How do I find out if my home in Pearson's Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Pearson's Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
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.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
New roof snagging in Pearson's Green: what you get
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on in good time. If you’re worried about underlay not dressed into the gutter and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Pearson's Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pearson's Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

New roof snagging around Pearson's Green
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. About 5 miles south lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Pearson's Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Pearson's Green, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave side gates unlocked

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it can be seen.
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly as far as safe access allows.
