New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Egypt
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We are frequently asked to look into cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and untidy or loose verge details, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and new flat roofs.
For a small place like Egypt, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Egypt
Landlords and agents in Egypt book surveys as well as householders. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the new roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Egypt: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Egypt?
Yes, Egypt is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Egypt within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
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 carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
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 are allowed to reach.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Egypt, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- 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 loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Book a survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.

Egypt homes and their roofs
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Landlords with a home close to Micheldever station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Common roof problems in Egypt
Many people book because something doesn’t look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
The streets around a church such as Ebenezer Methodist Chapel 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.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What insurance they carry
How the survey changes by roof type
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
Useful tips for Egypt property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
