Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed and get a proper look.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
New roof snagging in Seasalter
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. Typical surveys look at flashings not properly dressed or fixed and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, across loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like Seasalter makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

What we are asked to look at in Seasalter
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Seasalter Christian Centre, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What happens after the report arrives
Your questions about new roof snagging in Seasalter
Is Seasalter within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is the coastal weather around Seasalter hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Seasalter, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Seasalter homes and their roofs
Seasalter lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you own a rental within reach of Whitstable station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
