What affects the cost of new roof snagging

A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How new roof snagging works in Hawbush Green
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’re worried about underlay not dressed into the gutter and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Hawbush Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Hawbush Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Local roofs and buyers in Hawbush Green
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, alongside a good many post-war and newer estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Landlords with a home close to Cressing station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

When you need someone else

- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Details hidden from sight
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
What happens if roof problems are left?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Do you need new roof snagging in Hawbush Green?
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
For an older house near a landmark like Parish Church of All Saints, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- When you will get the report
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
