New roof snagging in Fuller Street: what you get
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you are worried about poorly finished verges and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys alike.
Somewhere as small as Fuller Street, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Do you need new roof snagging in Fuller Street?
Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
Landlords with a home close to White Notley station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What happens after the report arrives
Useful tips for Fuller Street property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
When you need someone else
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- What’s under the new coverings
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint

- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Fuller Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

FAQs for Fuller Street
Is my home in Fuller Street listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Fuller Street?
Yes, Fuller Street is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What new roof snagging looks like in Fuller Street
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. In Essex, older buildings are often clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, alongside lots of post-war and newer estates. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
