New roof snagging in Woolpack Corner and the rest of Kent. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Gaps at new flashings
- Gutters blocked by building debris

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
How new roof snagging works in Woolpack Corner
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s 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. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay at the eaves left exposed and debris left in gutters or valleys.
For a small place like Woolpack Corner, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Why act early in Woolpack Corner
Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woolpack Corner can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Woolpack Corner
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woolpack Corner?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Woolpack Corner within the area you cover?
Yes. Woolpack Corner is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Woolpack Corner?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe and check for damage left by the job.
How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Woolpack Corner, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What new roof snagging looks like in Woolpack Corner
With Smallhythe Place about 5 miles south-east, Woolpack Corner sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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.
Landlords with a home close to Headcorn station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church like Parish Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Roof by roof
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
