New roof snagging in Sandhurst, Kent
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Sandhurst. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
About our new roof snagging in Sandhurst
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. Common reasons to book are ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and untidy or loose verge details, across ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and new-build homes.
Being in a small place like Sandhurst makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Useful tips for Sandhurst property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Diary the defects period end date
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Sandhurst
Photos from ground level rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where applicable. For an older or listed building in a place like Sandhurst, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Sandhurst: your questions answered
Do you cover Sandhurst?
Yes, Sandhurst is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Sandhurst is listed?
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.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Sandhurst homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Great Dixter, about 2.4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Sandhurst goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you own a rental within reach of Robertsbridge station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. Take an older house close to Mission Church: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What else we do in Sandhurst
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older roofs in small places like Sandhurst can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
