New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Burmarsh
Our report records what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is 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. If you are worried about underlay not dressed into the gutter and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Burmarsh 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 are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Burmarsh needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
Burmarsh questions
How do I find out if my home in Burmarsh is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Burmarsh?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
Booking your survey
We’ll typically ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Roof by roof
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong, so we check them carefully.
Buying a home or a new roof in Burmarsh
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Burmarsh, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a careful look whether you are buying or signing off new work. About 3.5 miles north-east lies Westenhanger Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Burmarsh has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of All Saints, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
