About our new roof snagging in Durrant Green
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. 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. If you’ve noticed loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay ending short at the eaves, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and new flat roofs alike.
For a small place like Durrant Green, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Durrant Green: your questions answered
Is Durrant Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Durrant Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How do I book a survey in Durrant Green?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
When to book a survey in Durrant Green
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Durrant Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- 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 roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Arrange a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

What this survey can’t tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Repair costs for putting snags right
