New roof snagging in Goose Green: what you get
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We survey new-build homes, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps at new flashings and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.
Older buildings in small places like Goose Green may be listed or 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 is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Goose Green questions
Is Goose Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Goose Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Goose Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Goose Green is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
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. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Common roof problems in Goose Green
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Landlords with a home close to Broxbourne station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Goose Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Getting a price

Goose Green homes and their roofs
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.

Useful tips for Goose Green property owners
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Keep the contract and invoices together
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
