New roof snagging in Beaumont
Our report records what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We are frequently asked to look into verge tiles or slates not secured and underlay ending short at the eaves, across new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers.
Older buildings in small places like Beaumont may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a place like Beaumont, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

New roof snagging around Beaumont
Beaumont lies within about 2 miles of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Thorpe Hall, about 2 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Beaumont. 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, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Thorpe-Le-Soken station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Leonard, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Repair costs for putting snags right

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it can be seen.
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly where they can be seen.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Beaumont
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.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Beaumont, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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 ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

FAQs for Beaumont
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Beaumont, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Will you come out to Beaumont?
Yes, Beaumont is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
