Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
New roof snagging in Wilsley Green
Our snagging inspections cover Wilsley Green and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about damage to other parts of the building and signs of condensation in the roof space.
Being in a small place like Wilsley Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What happens on the day
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Wilsley Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Wilsley Green: your questions answered
Is Wilsley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Wilsley Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Wilsley Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
What do you check on a new roof?
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.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Why get it checked now?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Why book with us
- 20+ years’ experience
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable

Local roofs and buyers in Wilsley Green
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For landlords with property near Staplehurst station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. Take an older house close to Church of St Dunstan: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it can be seen.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
