Hazelwood New Roof Snagging
Need new roof snagging in Hazelwood? We can help, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
New roof snagging in Hazelwood: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in Hazelwood and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Common reasons to book are underlay at the eaves left exposed and untidy or loose verge details, across ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers.
For a small place like Hazelwood, 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 as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common roof problems in Hazelwood
Most homeowners can’t get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level before you pay.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

New roof snagging around Hazelwood
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Down House, about 1 mile west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hazelwood. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you let a flat or house near Chelsfield station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Why act early in Hazelwood
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Outbuildings and barns around Hazelwood are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Hazelwood, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
