New roof snagging in Bury Green: what you get
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and damage to other parts of the building, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Bury Green, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

The survey, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Bury Green, access is frequently 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.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

What we’re asked to look at in Bury Green
Many people book because something doesn’t look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Cecilia are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before you book anyone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What exactly goes into their report
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether VAT is added on top
Questions from Bury Green
Is Bury Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Bury Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Bury Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Bury Green is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof 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.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
How do I book a survey in Bury Green?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.

On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
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.
