Prices for new roof snagging in Goff's Oak
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
New roof snagging in Goff's Oak
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. Typical surveys look at ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and verge tiles or slates not secured, across ridges and verges, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
In a smaller place like Goff's Oak, some houses face open ground, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather typically shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Parking around Goff's Oak is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. We look at them closely.
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Goff's Oak: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Goff's Oak?
Yes, Goff's Oak is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Goff's Oak is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
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. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
