About our new roof snagging in Curling Tye Green
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. Typical surveys look at verge tiles or slates not secured and gaps at new flashings, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Some older homes in villages like Curling Tye Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Local roofs and buyers in Curling Tye Green
Curling Tye Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a close look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. The wider area around Curling Tye Green has a long history of building, with Danbury Place about 3.8 miles west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What else we do in Curling Tye Green
Curling Tye Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Curling Tye Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Curling Tye Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Curling Tye Green?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Curling Tye Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
When to book a survey in Curling Tye Green
Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from ground level and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Questions to ask before you book
- What they will not be able to tell you
- What exactly goes into their report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What experience they bring
Why it is worth a survey now in Curling Tye Green

For an older or listed building in a place like Curling Tye Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
