New roof snagging in Snodland
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and gutters blocked by building debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Snodland, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
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.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Being in a smaller place like Snodland does not change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

New roof snagging in Snodland: local notes
Historic houses such as Starkey Castle, about 2.5 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Snodland 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 often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of the New Jerusalem, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Snodland station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Why get it checked now?
Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. On a bungalow or cottage around Snodland, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
