Why it’s worth a survey now in Pedlinge
Photos from the ground rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely, including by drone where it is applicable. In a place like Pedlinge, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Pedlinge
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are underlay at the eaves left exposed and poorly finished verges, across flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Pedlinge may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Pedlinge homes and their roofs
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Pedlinge, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a careful look whether you are buying or signing off new work. Westenhanger Castle, about 1.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pedlinge. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Sandling station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Pedlinge, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

What else we do in Pedlinge
What we are asked to look at in Pedlinge
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Untidy or loose verge details
If you live in an older home near Pedlinge Chapel, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How long the report takes to arrive
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Common questions in Pedlinge
Is my home in Pedlinge listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Pedlinge?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
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.
