About our new roof snagging in Wanshurst Green
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We are often asked to look into debris left in gutters or valleys and missing or blocked roof ventilation, across flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges.
Some older homes in villages like Wanshurst Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Wanshurst Green
Do you cover Wanshurst Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Wanshurst Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Wanshurst Green?
Yes, Wanshurst Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe and check for damage left by the job.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Older and listed buildings around Wanshurst Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

New roof snagging in Wanshurst Green: local notes
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. 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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For landlords with property near Marden station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If you live in an older home near St Michael and All Angels Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Wanshurst Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
