New roof snagging in Pested, Kent
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Pested. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Pested, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
How to book
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

New roof snagging in Pested
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Being in a small place like Pested makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check before your warranty period ends
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Pested
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong particularly in poor weather.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Poorly finished verges
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
What to check before booking

Local roofs and buyers in Pested
The wider area around Pested has a long history of building, with Belmont House and Gardens about 3.4 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you let a flat or house near Wye station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
