New roof snagging in Wittersham: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. Common reasons to book are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay ending short at the eaves, across flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges.
For a small place like Wittersham, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common roof problems in Wittersham
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Untidy or loose verge details
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Wittersham
Do you cover smaller places like Wittersham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wittersham?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. We record any we can see.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. We check them closely.
Local roofs and buyers in Wittersham
With Smallhythe Place about 1.6 miles north, Wittersham sits in an area with a long building history. 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. 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. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you own a rental within reach of Rye station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Around Wittersham, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Wittersham, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
