New roof snagging in Sevenoaks Weald
Our snagging inspections cover Sevenoaks Weald and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Common reasons to book are damage to other parts of the building and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, across flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like Sevenoaks Weald makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

FAQs for Sevenoaks Weald
Will you come out to Sevenoaks Weald?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sevenoaks Weald?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Sevenoaks Weald as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs for you to pass to your builder.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you look in the loft space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.

Prices for new roof snagging in Sevenoaks Weald
We confirm the price for the job before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- When you need the report by
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
New roof snagging in Sevenoaks Weald: local notes
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. With Knole House about 2.1 miles north, Sevenoaks Weald sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St George, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Hildenborough station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check before your warranty period ends
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
