New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Twitham
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. 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. We survey new-build homes, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
For a small place like Twitham, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

New roof snagging in Twitham: local notes
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park, about 1.6 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Twitham goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Twitham is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Roofs in Twitham get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Kent. Across Kent, we cover Twitham and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Canterbury.

What we cannot see

- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
Why act early in Twitham
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where applicable. For older village homes like those around Twitham, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Roof by roof
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. We note anything left behind.
Questions from Twitham
Will you come out to Twitham?
Yes, Twitham is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Twitham?
Yes, Twitham is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What do you check on a new roof?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.

Do you need new roof snagging in Twitham?
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Untidy or loose verge details
If you own a rental within reach of Adisham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a hamlet or village like Twitham, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
