About our new roof snagging in Teynham
Our report records what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. Common reasons to book are tiles or slates sitting out of line and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, across new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Around Teynham, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
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.

New roof snagging in Teynham: local notes
Teynham lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a close look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. The wider area around Teynham has a long history of building, with Belmont House and Gardens about 4.4 miles south-east. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Teynham is about 3 miles east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We cover Teynham and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across London and South East England. Teynham is one of the towns and villages in Kent we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Maidstone page.

Questions from Teynham
Is Teynham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Teynham, take more of a battering?
It can do. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Teynham is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photos for you to pass to your builder.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.

How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit to a smaller place like Teynham is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Why get it checked now?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Blocked gutters on homes around Teynham overflow and soak walls. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
