New roof snagging in Petteridge
We carry out new roof snagging in Petteridge and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We are often asked to look into broken coverings left on a new roof and untidy or loose verge details, on new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and new-build homes.
For a small place like Petteridge, 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 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 on weekdays and at weekends.
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.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Around Petteridge, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check the roof before you pay in full
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
Petteridge: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Petteridge?
Yes, Petteridge is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Is Petteridge within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof 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.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it usually takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Petteridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Landlords, agents and block managers in Petteridge
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the new roof.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Buying a home or a new roof in Petteridge
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Scotney Castle, about 3.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Petteridge. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Paddock Wood station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. For an older house near a landmark such as Ebenezer Church (Matfield), older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
