About our new roof snagging in East Wellow
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the roof space for signs of 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. We record what we see. We survey flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and new flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay ending short at the eaves and gaps at new flashings.
In a village or hamlet like East Wellow, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

Do you need new roof snagging in East Wellow?
Many people book because something doesn’t look right. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Gaps at new flashings
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before booking anyone
- Will the report include photos?
- Their report turnaround times
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see

What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know 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. Most visits take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like East Wellow, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- 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.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Diary the defects period end date
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
