New roof snagging in Gardeners Green: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Some older homes in villages like Gardeners 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. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How we price new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The roof’s overall size
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- What made you get in touch
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Gardeners Green questions
Is Gardeners Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Gardeners Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Gardeners Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Gardeners Green?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long will you be on site?
A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We will give you an idea when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Gardeners Green
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Gardeners Green. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Gardeners Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

New roof snagging in Gardeners Green: local notes
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, 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. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Sebastian's Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
