How new roof snagging works in Cole Henley
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 gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on before the deadline. We survey ridges and verges, new-build homes and new flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are offcuts and broken tiles left behind and damage to other parts of the building.
In a village or hamlet like Cole Henley, homes are often 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, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Questions from Cole Henley
How do I find out if my home in Cole Henley is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Cole Henley?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Cole Henley is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe and check for damage left by the job.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
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. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
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, and the report makes that clear.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Why it is worth a survey now in Cole Henley
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Cole Henley, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Cole Henley often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
