New roof snagging in Stone Cross, Kent
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Stone Cross. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.

- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job

What happens if roof problems are left?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Stone Cross, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

New roof snagging in Stone Cross: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in Stone Cross and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We’re frequently asked to look into cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, across flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and new flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Stone Cross are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Stone Cross, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive

- Untidy or loose verge details
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed

New roof snagging in Stone Cross: local notes
About 1.1 miles south-east lies Groombridge Place, a reminder of how long the area around Stone Cross has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Take an older house close to Church of St Martin of Tours: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Useful tips for Stone Cross property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
