Common questions in Enborne Row
How do I find out if my home in Enborne Row is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Enborne Row?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
New roof snagging in Enborne Row
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We’re often asked to look into offcuts and broken tiles left behind and tiles or slates sitting out of line, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and new-build homes.
Somewhere as small as Enborne Row, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re 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.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Enborne Row
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.

Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely

- Will the report include photos?
Why it is worth a survey now in Enborne Row
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Older and listed buildings around Enborne Row may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

New roof snagging in Enborne Row: local notes
About 2.6 miles south-west lies Stargroves, a reminder of how long the area around Enborne Row has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark like St Luke Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Enborne Row, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
