Your questions about new roof snagging in Brockhill
How do I find out if my home in Brockhill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Brockhill in the area you cover?
Yes, Brockhill is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Brockhill?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
New roof snagging in Brockhill: what you get
Our snagging inspections cover Brockhill and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed underlay not dressed into the gutter and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Brockhill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

New roof snagging in Brockhill: local notes
About 3.4 miles north-east lies St Leonard's Hill, a reminder of how long the area around Brockhill has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary 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.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Common roof problems in Brockhill
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Poorly finished verges
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Gaps at new flashings
For landlords with property near Martins Heron station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Brockhill often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
