How new roof snagging works in Wingham Green
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’re worried about broken coverings left on a new roof and gutters blocked by building debris, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Wingham Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Whether the roof will leak in future
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Wingham Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Related advice
Do you need new roof snagging in Wingham Green?
Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What experience they bring

What new roof snagging looks like in Wingham Green
The wider area around Wingham Green has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 2.1 miles south-east. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.

How much is new roof snagging?

How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
