About our new roof snagging in Adeyfield
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We are often asked to look into vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and underlay not dressed into the gutter, on flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Adeyfield, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Adeyfield. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What else we do in Adeyfield
Leave it or get it looked at?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Around Adeyfield, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- A written report with photos

Landlord and commercial surveys in Adeyfield
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.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Adeyfield
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Adeyfield be checked too?
It is frequently worth it, as these roofs are easy to forget. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
Is my home in Adeyfield listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Adeyfield homes and their roofs
The wider area around Adeyfield has a long history of building, with Batchwood Hall about 4.2 miles east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Barnabas, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. If you let a flat or house near Apsley station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a survey in Adeyfield, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen 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.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The roof’s overall size
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is

If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
