New roof snagging in Green Street
We carry out new roof snagging in Green Street and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed debris left in gutters or valleys and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Green Street, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Green Street, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Local roofs and buyers in Green Street
The wider area around Green Street has a long history of building, with Ingatestone Hall about 1.9 miles south-east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Older buildings in Essex frequently have clay tiles and weatherboarding, alongside lots of post-war and newer estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you own a rental within reach of Ingatestone station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Green Street questions
How do I find out if my home in Green Street is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Green Street?
Yes, Green Street is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Green Street?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Diary the defects period end date
- Book snagging before the final payment
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
