New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Chilton Green
Our report records what we see, with photographs and clear 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. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and people most often book us about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and damage to other parts of the building.
For a small place like Chilton Green, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Chilton Green: your questions answered
Is the coastal weather around Chilton Green hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Will you come out to Chilton Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is checked where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: 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. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Chilton Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Common roof problems in Chilton Green
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
Take an older house close to St Peter and St Paul's Church: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether the price includes VAT
Landlord and commercial surveys in Chilton Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Tips that help
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Check before your warranty period ends
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
New roof snagging around Chilton Green
Chilton Green lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. A number of the island’s villages keep thatched roofs on older buildings, and nowhere on the island is far from the sea. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Historic houses like Mottistone Manor, about 0.9 miles north-west, show how far back building around Chilton Green goes. If you’re buying an older home nearby, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before you plan any re-roofing.
