What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Wingham Well, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Wingham Well
We carry out new roof snagging in Wingham Well and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Common reasons to book are cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and debris left in gutters or valleys, across new-build homes, ridges and verges and new flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Wingham Well, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What affects the price in Wingham Well
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Diary the defects period end date
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
Wingham Well homes and their roofs
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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park, about 1.8 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Wingham Well goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed

Wingham Well questions
Do you cover Wingham Well?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Wingham Well is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Is Wingham Well within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
