How new roof snagging works in Temple Hill
Our snagging inspections cover Temple Hill and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and people most frequently book us about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.
Smaller places like Temple Hill often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from ground level, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Temple Hill. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. A visit to Temple Hill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Local roofs and buyers in Temple Hill
Historic houses such as Hall Place and Gardens, about 2.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Temple Hill goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Edmunds Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
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.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Temple Hill questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Temple Hill?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Temple Hill in the area you cover?
Yes, Temple Hill is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Temple Hill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Common roof problems in Temple Hill
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
Landlords with a home close to Dartford 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.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What happens after the report arrives
- Are they insured for the work?
