New roof snagging in Wingham: what you get
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We’re often asked to look into broken coverings left on a new roof and underlay ending short at the eaves, across loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Wingham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Practical tips
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Check before your warranty period ends
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
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 part is for a survey.
What new roof snagging looks like in Wingham
Across Kent, older roofs are often 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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. The wider area around Wingham has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 2 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Adisham station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Wingham is about 6 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Whether the building in Wingham is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Kent coverage includes Wingham. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.

Wingham: your questions answered
Is my home in Wingham listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Wingham?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How do I book a survey in Wingham?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Prices for new roof snagging in Wingham
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Wingham can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Older and listed buildings around Wingham may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
