Goddards Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Goddards Green?
Yes, Goddards Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is Goddards Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Goddards Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
How new roof snagging works in Goddards Green
Our snagging inspections cover Goddards Green and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where it applies. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are debris left in gutters or valleys and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Older buildings in small places like Goddards Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.

There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
