New roof snagging in Teasley Mead, Kent
New roof snagging in Teasley Mead from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and the South East.
- Poorly finished verges
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
New roof snagging in Teasley Mead: what you get
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes alike.
In a village or hamlet like Teasley Mead, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. 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: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a proper look at the new roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Pricing the remedial work
- What’s under the new coverings

- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
Do you need new roof snagging in Teasley Mead?
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
We are often asked to look at:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- When you’ll get the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Teasley Mead can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Advice
Questions from Teasley Mead
Is Teasley Mead in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Teasley Mead as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Teasley Mead?
Yes, Teasley Mead is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
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.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
New roof snagging in Teasley Mead: local notes
With Groombridge Place about 2.4 miles south-east, Teasley Mead sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you own a rental within reach of Ashurst Kent station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
