New roof snagging in Stick Hill
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to other parts of the building and underlay ending short at the eaves.
Older buildings in small places like Stick Hill may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Stick Hill can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Common questions in Stick Hill
How do I find out if my home in Stick Hill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Stick Hill?
Yes, Stick Hill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Local roofs and buyers in Stick Hill
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. About 1.5 miles north-east lies Hever Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Stick Hill has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you own a rental within reach of Hever station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we look at them carefully.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. In a small place like Stick Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
