About our new roof snagging in Sundridge
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Typical surveys look at poorly finished verges and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, across ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs.
Somewhere as small as Sundridge, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Buying a home or a new roof in Sundridge
The wider area around Sundridge has a long history of building, with Quebec House about 2.3 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Landlords with a home close to Dunton Green 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.

Common questions in Sundridge
Do you cover Sundridge?
Yes, Sundridge is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Sundridge within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Sundridge
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
What we are asked to look at in Sundridge
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is VAT included in the price?
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Sundridge, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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 the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

What happens if roof problems are left?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. For an older or listed building in a place like Sundridge, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
