New Roof Snagging in Peters Village
Wondering about the new roof at a property in Peters Village? We carry out new roof snagging in Peters Village and across Medway, with plain-English findings.

Do you need new roof snagging in Peters Village?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
If you let a flat or house near Snodland station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

About our new roof snagging in Peters Village
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and new flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay not dressed into the gutter and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
In a smaller place like Peters Village, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What affects the price in Peters Village
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Local roofs and buyers in Peters Village
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. 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. With Starkey Castle about 1.5 miles north, Peters Village sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

FAQs for Peters Village
Is my home in Peters Village listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Peters Village within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Peters Village, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a smaller place like Peters Village, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- 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.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
