Local roofs in Snodland
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. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Homes near green spaces like Holborough Marshes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Landlords with a home close to Snodland station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Roof survey in Snodland
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey the roof space, flat roofs and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters that overflow in heavy rain and debris building up in roof valleys.
In a smaller place like Snodland, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Questions from Snodland
Is Snodland within the area you cover?
Yes, Snodland is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Snodland station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Being in a smaller place like Snodland doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

When to book a survey in Snodland
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Snodland CofE Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Their insurance cover
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. On a bungalow or cottage around Snodland, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We look for the likely route in.
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails often corrode first. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted, and for clips that show past repairs.
For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
