About our new roof snagging in Enfield Wash
Roof work frequently leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Enfield Wash, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Useful tips for Enfield Wash property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
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. Add the snagging report to it.

Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that don’t sit flat can let rain in. We note any that look out of place.
New roof snagging in Enfield Wash: local notes
About 1.3 miles west lies Forty Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Enfield Wash 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, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For landlords with property near Turkey Street station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Enfield Wash: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Enfield Wash?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Enfield Wash as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Enfield Wash listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. A visit to Enfield Wash is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.

- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
