Stelling Minnis New Roof Snagging
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Stelling Minnis and the rest of Kent. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Stelling Minnis can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

New roof snagging in Stelling Minnis
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’re worried about loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Stelling Minnis, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why get it checked now?
Photographs from ground level rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Common questions in Stelling Minnis
Is my home in Stelling Minnis listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Stelling Minnis in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stelling Minnis is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs for you to pass to your builder.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How do I book a survey in Stelling Minnis?

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings often show up on new roofs. We photograph any we find.
What we’re asked to look at in Stelling Minnis
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What new roof snagging looks like in Stelling Minnis
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Acrise Place, about 4.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stelling Minnis. If yours is one of the older homes, 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.
