Underling Green New Roof Snagging
An experienced roof surveyor for new roof snagging in Underling Green. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Damage to other parts of the building
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
New roof snagging in Underling Green
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. Typical surveys look at debris left in gutters or valleys and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, across new-build homes, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Underling Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Cottages and farmhouses around Underling Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

Underling Green homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. 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. About 5 miles north-east lies Stoneacre, a reminder of how long the area around Underling Green has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
