Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
New roof snagging in Womenswold: what you get
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. You then get a written report with photographs to share with your roofer. We survey replacement roofs, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage to other parts of the building and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
For a small place like Womenswold, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Womenswold: your questions answered
Do you cover Womenswold?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Womenswold is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Womenswold?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Why it is worth a survey now in Womenswold
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In a place like Womenswold, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
What you get with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

New roof snagging in Womenswold: local notes
The wider area around Womenswold has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 2.8 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Margaret, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you own a rental within reach of Snowdown station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Womenswold needs a little journey planning: let us know 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 is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What affects the price in Womenswold
We confirm the exact price before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the roof
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
