New roof snagging in South Street, Kent
New roof snagging across South Street, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Gaps at new flashings
Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in South Street
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey ridges and verges, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and gutters blocked by building debris.
Being in a small place like South Street 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. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like South Street, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Landlords, agents and block managers in South Street
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
South Street homes and their roofs
With Cobham College about 3.3 miles north-east, South Street sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For landlords with property near Meopham station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
