New roof snagging in Wormshill: what you get
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you are worried about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and verge tiles or slates not secured, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Wormshill makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why act early in Wormshill
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wormshill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Wormshill, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know 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 checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Find any records of previous roof work

Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.

Wormshill: your questions answered
Is my home in Wormshill listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Wormshill within the area you cover?
Yes, Wormshill is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long will you be on site?
A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

What new roof snagging looks like in Wormshill
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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Leeds Castle, about 3.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wormshill. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as St Giles are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
