New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Sandhurst Cross
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’re worried about broken coverings left on a new roof and poorly finished verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Being in a small place like Sandhurst Cross makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
You receive a photo-illustrated written report of each snag and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Older and listed buildings around Sandhurst Cross may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent view of the roof
- Photographs and a written report every time

When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint

Landlords, agents and block managers in Sandhurst Cross
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Sandhurst Cross, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
Sandhurst Cross homes and their roofs
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. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. With Great Dixter about 2.5 miles south-east, Sandhurst Cross sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

FAQs for Sandhurst Cross
How do I find out if my home in Sandhurst Cross is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Sandhurst Cross?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
