About our new roof snagging in Woolage Village
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. 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 that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and underlay ending short at the eaves, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Woolage Village, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Woolage Village, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Common questions in Woolage Village
Do you cover Woolage Village?
Yes, Woolage Village is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Woolage Village as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woolage Village?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What new roof snagging looks like in Woolage Village
About 2.8 miles north-east lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Woolage Village has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own a rental within reach of Snowdown station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Margaret, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Why get it checked now?
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woolage Village can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. Leftover debris is recorded.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Keep the contract and invoices together
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
