Stuppington New Roof Snagging

Why act early in Stuppington
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Older and listed buildings around Stuppington may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

New roof snagging in Stuppington
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we look at the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed underlay ending short at the eaves and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Stuppington, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Buying a home or a new roof in Stuppington
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. 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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. Landlords with a home close to Canterbury East station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Stuppington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
FAQs for Stuppington
Is my home in Stuppington listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Stuppington within the area you cover?
Yes. Stuppington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Roof by roof
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are checked closely.
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the roof space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
