George Green New Roof Snagging
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in George Green, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around George Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

How new roof snagging works in George Green
Our snagging inspections cover George Green and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed underlay not dressed into the gutter and poorly finished verges, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as George Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Why get it checked now?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Around George Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Common roof problems in George Green
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Damage to other parts of the building
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs as far as can safely be seen.

FAQs for George Green
Is my home in George Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is George Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
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.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
