About our new roof snagging in Stone Corner
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. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We are frequently asked to look into cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and untidy or loose verge details, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
For a small place like Stone Corner, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Questions from Stone Corner
Will you come out to Stone Corner?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stone Corner?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Stone Corner can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Common roof problems in Stone Corner
Most homeowners 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.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
If you let a flat or house near Appledore (Kent) station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their track record with similar roofs
