How new roof snagging works in Stonehill Green
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed untidy or loose verge details and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and new flat roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Stonehill Green 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. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Stonehill Green
Is Stonehill Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Stonehill Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Stonehill Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Stonehill Green?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Stonehill Green
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
If you own a rental within reach of Swanley station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
What to check before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It’s useful 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.
Local roofs and buyers in Stonehill Green
Hall Place and Gardens, about 2.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stonehill Green. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently 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. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.

Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.

- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
