How new roof snagging works in Pembles Cross
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay at the eaves left exposed and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.
For a small place like Pembles Cross, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

FAQs for Pembles Cross
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pembles Cross?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Pembles Cross?
Yes, Pembles Cross is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Pembles Cross as anywhere else.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
New roof snagging in Pembles Cross: local notes
About 5 miles north-west lies Leeds Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Pembles Cross has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you let a flat or house near Lenham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Pembles Cross

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
