How we price new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
New roof snagging in Cassiobury
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and people most frequently book us about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Cassiobury, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. That applies whether you’re buying in Cassiobury or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a careful look.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
What new roof snagging looks like in Cassiobury
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Historic houses such as High Elms Manor, about 2.9 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Cassiobury goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Watford Junction station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Cassiobury
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces frequently end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
The streets around a church such as St John's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Will the report include photos?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Leave it or get it looked at?
Photographs from the ground rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where it applies. Around Cassiobury, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
What you get with us
- Plain-English reports with photos
- An independent view of the roof
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- PI and public liability insurance

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Homes around Cassiobury frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey

Advice
Cassiobury questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cassiobury?
Yes, Cassiobury is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Cassiobury is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
