New roof snagging in Burgh Hill
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Typical surveys look at broken coverings left on a new roof and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, across loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and new flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Burgh Hill, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. For older village homes like those around Burgh Hill, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Burgh Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Burgh Hill?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burgh Hill?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Burgh Hill can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
