New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Rodmersham Green
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you are worried about gaps at new flashings and poorly finished verges, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Rodmersham Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- What’s under the new coverings
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

What new roof snagging looks like in Rodmersham Green
Rodmersham Green lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, so exposed details get a careful look whether you are buying or signing off new work. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage

When to book a survey in Rodmersham Green
Many people book because something does not look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Gaps at new flashings
If you own a rental within reach of Sittingbourne station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes an hour or two at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Rodmersham Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Questions from Rodmersham Green
Will you come out to Rodmersham Green?
Yes. Rodmersham Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is my home in Rodmersham Green 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.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
