New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Throwley
We carry out new roof snagging in Throwley and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Common reasons to book are missing or blocked roof ventilation and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, across ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs.
For a small place like Throwley, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What affects the price in Throwley
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Common questions in Throwley
How do I find out if my home in Throwley is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Throwley in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Throwley?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit normally takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We will give you an idea when booking.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
When to book a survey in Throwley
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Gaps at new flashings
If you let a flat or house near Faversham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Throwley can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
