About our new roof snagging in East Farleigh
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We are often asked to look into tiles or slates sitting out of line and missing or blocked roof ventilation, across loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like East Farleigh may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are checked closely.
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded where we can see them.
When to book a survey in East Farleigh
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of Saint Mary, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- When you will get the report
Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like East Farleigh can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Your questions about new roof snagging in East Farleigh
Is my home in East Farleigh listed or in a conservation area?
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 smaller places like East Farleigh?
Yes. East Farleigh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How do I book a survey in East Farleigh?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. 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.

Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses such as Stoneacre, about 4 miles east, show how far back building in the area around East Farleigh goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
