About our new roof snagging in Slutshole
Our snagging inspections cover Slutshole and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Typical surveys look at offcuts and broken tiles left behind and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, across flashings and valleys, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
Somewhere as small as Slutshole, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Slutshole
Will you come out to Slutshole?
Yes. Slutshole is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is the coastal weather around Slutshole hard on roofs?
It can do. Slutshole is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Slutshole can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Leave side gates unlocked
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
What we’re asked to look at in Slutshole
Owners frequently get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
Common reasons to book include:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Why it is worth a survey now in Slutshole
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Slutshole can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What new roof snagging looks like in Slutshole
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Slutshole, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a proper look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For landlords with property near Selling station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
