About our new roof snagging in Flowers Green
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are underlay not dressed into the gutter and tiles or slates sitting out of line.
Some older homes in villages like Flowers Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We look at it where it can be seen.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Flowers Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Flowers Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Book snagging before the final payment
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there is a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.

FAQs for Flowers Green
Is Flowers Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Flowers Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Flowers Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
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’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

New roof snagging in Flowers Green: local notes
Flowers Green is within about 5 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a close look whether you are buying or signing off new work. About 3.4 miles west lies Horselunges Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Flowers Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
