New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Stone Cross
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. If you’ve noticed broken coverings left on a new roof and damage to other parts of the building, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Stone Cross, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Buying a home or a new roof in Stone Cross
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. 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.
For landlords with property near Ham Street station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

- New flat roofs

When to book a survey in Stone Cross
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Poorly finished verges
In and around Stone Cross, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Stone Cross can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.

Stone Cross questions
Do you cover Stone Cross?

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stone Cross?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
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.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
