Need new roof snagging in St Ann's Green?

Should I look at the roof myself first?

During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.

New roof snagging in St Ann's Green

Our snagging inspections cover St Ann's Green and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed underlay ending short at the eaves and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.

Some older homes in villages like St Ann's Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.

The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Why act early in St Ann's Green

Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. In a small place like St Ann's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

What new roof snagging looks like in St Ann's Green

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’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.

Around St Ann's Green, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Questions from St Ann's Green

How do I find out if my home in St Ann's Green is listed?

Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.

Is St Ann's Green in the area you cover?

We do. The survey and report are the same in St Ann's Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.

How long does new roof snagging take?

Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.

Do you use drones?

Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.

How do I arrange new roof snagging in St Ann's Green?

Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?

No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.

When to book a survey in St Ann's Green

Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.

A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:

  • Gutters blocked by building debris
  • Poorly finished verges
  • Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
  • Damage to other parts of the building

If you own a rental within reach of Marden station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Before you book any roof surveyor

  • Are they insured for the work?
  • How they plan to inspect the roof safely
  • Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

What a roof survey includes

What affects the cost of new roof snagging

Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:

  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
  • Roof area
  • The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What we need to know

To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:

  • How the loft is reached, if there is one
  • Your timetable, such as an exchange date
  • Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
  • Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

How it works

On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around St Ann's Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

  1. We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
  2. The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
  3. We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
  4. We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
  5. You receive a report to share with your roofer.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets out of the way during the survey
  • Let us know about parking before the day
  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
