About our new roof snagging in Weavering
We report on what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. Common reasons to book are offcuts and broken tiles left behind and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, across ridges and verges, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
Around Weavering, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.

What else we do in Weavering
Why get it checked now?
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. With lower homes, common in places like Weavering, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the roof
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
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.
What to let us know when you contact us
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- When you need the report by
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Being in a smaller place like Weavering doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it can be seen.
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
Buying a home or a new roof in Weavering
Stoneacre, about 1.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Weavering. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. 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.
For landlords with property near Bearsted station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. If you live in an older home near Holy Cross Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Questions from Weavering
Do you cover smaller places like Weavering?
Yes, Weavering is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Weavering is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
