Bradley New Roof Snagging
Know where you stand with the new roof before you spend money on it. New roof snagging in Bradley.
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Poorly finished verges
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the roof space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
New roof snagging in Bradley: what you get
Our snagging inspections cover Bradley and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a report with photographs. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We’re frequently asked to look into signs of condensation in the roof space and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, on replacement roofs, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Older buildings in small places like Bradley may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Bradley
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
What affects the price in Bradley
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Bradley, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
FAQs for Bradley
How do I find out if my home in Bradley is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Bradley?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Bradley homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 1.9 miles south-east lies Hall Place, a reminder of how long the area around Bradley has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check the roof before you pay in full
