Local roofs and buyers in Yorkletts
Yorkletts lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For landlords with property near Whitstable station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

New roof snagging in Yorkletts: what you get
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you are worried about damage to other parts of the building and verge tiles or slates not secured, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Yorkletts, 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, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

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.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are checked.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Yorkletts, access is frequently 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.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Book a survey
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Related advice
Signs you need new roof snagging in Yorkletts
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
For an older house near a landmark such as St Alphege, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price

Yorkletts: your questions answered
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Yorkletts, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
How do I find out if my home in Yorkletts is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Yorkletts?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
