New roof snagging in Peckham Bush, Kent
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in Peckham Bush, with photos and a written report.
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
New roof snagging in Peckham Bush
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are tiles or slates sitting out of line and gaps at new flashings.
Being in a small place like Peckham Bush makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that don’t sit flat can let rain in. We note any that look out of place.
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Legal advice on your contract
- Repair costs for putting snags right

Peckham Bush: your questions answered
Is Peckham Bush in the area you cover?
Yes, Peckham Bush is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Peckham Bush as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Peckham Bush listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe and check for damage left by the job.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Peckham Bush
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, particularly when the weather is against them.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Gaps at new flashings
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Will the report include photos?

What new roof snagging looks like in Peckham Bush
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. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Historic houses like Old Soar Manor, about 3.8 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Peckham Bush goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
For landlords with property near Yalding station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
