New roof snagging in Allhallows
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you are worried about untidy or loose verge details and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Allhallows, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What new roof snagging looks like in Allhallows
Allhallows is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a proper look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so the council is the place to ask.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Questions from Allhallows
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Allhallows?
It can do. Allhallows is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Will you come out to Allhallows?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Allhallows?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by
- What made you get in touch
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
Do you need new roof snagging in Allhallows?
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Poorly finished verges
If you own a rental within reach of Chalkwell station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- When you will get the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which limits apply to the survey
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Allhallows needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
