New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Street End
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey replacement roofs, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers, and people most frequently book us about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Older buildings in small places like Street End 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 are buying or signing off new roofing, it is 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
What new roof snagging looks like in Street End
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Across Kent, older roofs are often 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own a rental within reach of Canterbury East station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Street End: your questions answered
Will you come out to Street End?
Yes, Street End is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Street End is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Street End, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Advice
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.
Booking your survey
We’ll normally ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why act early in Street End
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Street End, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Visits on any day of the week
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
