New roof snagging in Willesborough
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’re worried about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it, on loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and new-build homes alike.
In a smaller place like Willesborough, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. 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.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings frequently show up on new roofs. They’re recorded with photos.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Willesborough, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about parking before the day
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Willesborough
Do you carry out roof surveys in Willesborough?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Willesborough as anywhere else.
Will you come out to Willesborough?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
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 when you book.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photos for you to pass to your builder.

What new roof snagging looks like in Willesborough
Older houses across Kent often 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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. About 3.1 miles north-west lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around Willesborough has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. Landlords with a home close to Ashford International station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
