Useful tips for Aimes Green property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
New roof snagging in Aimes Green
We carry out new roof snagging in Aimes Green and across London and the South East. Time on site usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We’re often asked to look into verge tiles or slates not secured and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, across ridges and verges, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
Some older homes in villages like Aimes Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What this survey covers
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Aimes Green, access is often 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.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Aimes Green questions
Is Aimes Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Aimes Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not 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.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
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 as you book.
Different roofs, different checks
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point, so we check them closely.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Aimes Green
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Common reasons to book include:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Untidy or loose verge details
For landlords with property near Cheshunt station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
