FAQs for Teynham Street
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Teynham Street, take more of a battering?
Often, yes. Teynham Street is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Teynham Street?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Do you work in Teynham Street?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Teynham Street included.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
New roof snagging in Teynham Street
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a report with photographs that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey ridges and verges, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and tiles or slates sitting out of line.
In a village or hamlet like Teynham Street, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Teynham Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare

What new roof snagging does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Legal advice on your contract
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- New-build homes
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
Leave it or get it looked at?
Photographs from the ground rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it’s applicable. Older and listed buildings around Teynham Street may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not 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 strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Local roofs and buyers in Teynham Street
Teynham Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, so exposed details get a close look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you own a rental within reach of Teynham station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.8 miles south, show how far back building around Teynham Street goes. Older homes in the area can come with listed status or conservation area rules, which affect re-roofing, so check with the council before you buy. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

How we price new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
