New roof snagging in Allhallows-on-Sea: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. If you’ve noticed broken coverings left on a new roof and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new-build homes alike.
For a small place like Allhallows-on-Sea, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Buying a home or a new roof in Allhallows-on-Sea
Allhallows-on-Sea lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Chalkwell station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

What we look for on each type of roof

Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Questions from Allhallows-on-Sea
Will you come out to Allhallows-on-Sea?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Allhallows-on-Sea is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Whether the roof will leak in future
