About our new roof snagging in Green Street
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 ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photographs to share with your roofer. Typical surveys look at gutters or fascias damaged during the job and signs of condensation in the roof space, on loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
For a small place like Green Street, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

- Untidy or loose verge details

Choosing a roof surveyor

- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What happens after the report arrives
What affects the price in Green Street
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
What new roof snagging looks like in Green Street
Historic houses like Wyllyotts Manor, about 3.7 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Green Street goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
The streets around a church such as St Michael and All Angels Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: 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. The visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Green Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Diary the defects period end date
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
