How new roof snagging works in Woolage Green
Our snagging inspections cover Woolage Green and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey new-build homes, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about underlay ending short at the eaves and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
Being in a small place like Woolage Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
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. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

FAQs for Woolage Green
Do you cover smaller places like Woolage Green?
Yes, Woolage Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Woolage Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Woolage Green as anywhere else.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do you look in the roof space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.

How we price new roof snagging
To price your survey, we look at:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The size of the roof
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Every price we give includes VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
These details help when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Woolage Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets in another room
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a small place like Woolage 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. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Why us?
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Visits on any day of the week
- Packages from £150, with VAT included

Local roofs and buyers in Woolage Green
Goodnestone Park, about 3.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Woolage Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. For landlords with property near Snowdown station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
