New roof snagging in Burchett's Green: what you get
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. If you’ve noticed cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and debris left in gutters or valleys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Burchett's Green 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. Whether you are 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.
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.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Burchett's Green
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.

- Details hidden from sight
- A promise that the roof will not leak

Prices for new roof snagging in Burchett's Green

- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Burchett's Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Burchett's Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burchett's Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Burchett's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Burchett's Green 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’s useful to know about access.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Burchett's Green?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Common roof problems in Burchett's Green
Many people book because something does not look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Saint John the Evangelist, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking any roof surveyor
