New roof snagging in Snoll Hatch, Kent
A careful look at the new roof at your property in Snoll Hatch, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Untidy or loose verge details
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
How new roof snagging works in Snoll Hatch
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It’s all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters blocked by building debris and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
For a small place like Snoll Hatch, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Snoll Hatch can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Your questions about new roof snagging in Snoll Hatch
Is Snoll Hatch within the area you cover?
Yes. Snoll Hatch is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Snoll Hatch?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Older and listed buildings around Snoll Hatch may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.

Local roofs and buyers in Snoll Hatch
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper 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’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. With Old Soar Manor about 4.5 miles north-west, Snoll Hatch sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
