Questions from Clatterford End
How do I find out if my home in Clatterford End is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Clatterford End in the area you cover?
Yes, Clatterford End is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Clatterford End
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on before the deadline. If you’re worried about cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Clatterford End, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Clatterford End
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Clatterford End can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

When to book a survey in Clatterford End
Many people book because something doesn’t look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Greensted Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their insurance cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
