Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
You receive a written report with photographs of each snag and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
How new roof snagging works in Chapmore End
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s 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. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’ve noticed debris left in gutters or valleys and missing or blocked roof ventilation, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and replacement roofs alike.
For a small place like Chapmore End, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly as far as safe access allows.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
Other services in Chapmore End
Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Questions from Chapmore End
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Chapmore End?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Chapmore End in the area you cover?
Yes, Chapmore End is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What new roof snagging looks like in Chapmore End
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. The wider area around Chapmore End has a long history of building, with Aston Bury about 4.9 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Hertford East station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
