Questions from Snoll Hatch
Is Snoll Hatch within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Snoll Hatch?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Snoll Hatch as anywhere else.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You will then get the report by email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Snoll Hatch
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’ve noticed flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damaged pots on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias alike.
For a small place like Snoll Hatch, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Snoll Hatch
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Snoll Hatch, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Snoll Hatch roofs and the weather
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Old Soar Manor, about 4.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Snoll Hatch. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Beltring station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

- Read your policy wording on storm damage
