What happens if roof problems are left?
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely, including by drone where it’s applicable. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Cox Green, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How new roof snagging works in Cox Green
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters blocked by building debris and flashings not properly dressed or fixed.
Houses in smaller places like Cox Green can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Cox Green is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Related advice
What we’re asked to look at in Cox Green
Flashings are a common source of snags. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in at the first heavy rain.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Gaps at new flashings
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.

Common questions in Cox Green
Will you come out to Cox Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cox Green?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Cox Green is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
