New roof snagging in Round Street, Kent
New roof snagging in Round Street, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Damage to other parts of the building
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
New roof snagging in Round Street
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about underlay at the eaves left exposed and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
For a small place like Round Street, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Round Street

Take a look at our cost guide and two real surveys.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Questions from Round Street
Do you cover smaller places like Round Street?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Round Street, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs from safe vantage points.
What new roof snagging looks like in Round Street
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Round Street, 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 proper look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Cobham College, about 0.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Round Street. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Sole Street station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. The streets around a church like St Mary's Room are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Round Street often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
