What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Cottages and farmhouses around Walter's Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Walter's Green
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are missing or blocked roof ventilation and underlay ending short at the eaves.

There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.

What new roof snagging looks like in Walter's Green
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Penshurst Place, about 2.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Walter's Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. For landlords with property near Ashurst Kent station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Walter's Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Walter's Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Walter's Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Walter's Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Walter's Green as anywhere else.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How do I book a survey in Walter's Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
