How new roof snagging works in Woodside Green
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We are often asked to look into signs of condensation in the roof space and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and new flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Woodside Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a small place like Woodside Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
Why us?
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- A written report with photographs
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Surveys for landlords and agents in Woodside Green
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Woodside Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

New roof snagging around Woodside Green
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. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. With Leeds Castle about 4.3 miles west, Woodside Green 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.
Landlords with a home close to Lenham station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We check it where it is visible.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we look at them carefully.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Diary the defects period end date
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
