How new roof snagging works in Worth
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. It’s all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We’re often asked to look into underlay ending short at the eaves and gutters blocked by building debris, across new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like Worth makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What affects the price in Worth
When we price a survey, we consider:
- House, block, shop or office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
For a price for new roof snagging in Worth, phone 07833 053749 or email us. Some details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Worth often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Tell us about parking before the day

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Worth
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check the roof before you pay in full
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
When to book a survey in Worth
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, especially when the weather is against them.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will the report include photos?
FAQs for Worth
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Worth?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Worth?
Yes. Worth 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 when booking.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How do I book a survey in Worth?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
New roof snagging around Worth
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Worth, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, so exposed details get a proper look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung 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 Sandwich station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Walmer Castle lies about 4.5 miles south-east, so building around Worth goes back a long way. When you buy an older home, the roof’s age, past repairs and any listing all affect what you might spend later.
