About our new roof snagging in Wye
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’re worried about loose flashings at walls or chimneys and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Wye, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In a place like Wye, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Wye
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
We are often asked to look at:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
Take an older house close to Church of Saint Gregory and Saint Martin: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How long the report takes to arrive
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Wye can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey

FAQs for Wye
How do I find out if my home in Wye is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wye?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.

Local roofs and buyers in Wye
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. 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. With Godinton House about 4.8 miles west, Wye sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Wye station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
