Here are some of the things we see often:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Untidy or loose verge details
For landlords with property near Seven Kings station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

New roof snagging in Fullwell Cross: what you get
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is 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. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’ve noticed debris left in gutters or valleys and tiles or slates sitting out of line, we can find out what’s behind it, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Around Fullwell Cross, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

New roof snagging around Fullwell Cross
Historic houses such as Valentines Mansion, about 1.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Fullwell Cross goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, alongside a good many post-war and newer estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Francis of Assisi, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What happens if roof problems are left?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. On a bungalow or cottage around Fullwell Cross, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
