New roof snagging in Jennett's Park
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’re worried about untidy or loose verge details and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and new-build homes alike.
Houses in smaller places like Jennett's Park can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are looked at closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Parking around Jennett's Park is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book

Useful tips for Jennett's Park property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
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.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Jennett's Park
My home in Jennett's Park has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it as you book. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
Is my home in Jennett's Park listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Why it is worth a survey now in Jennett's Park
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Jennett's Park, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

What new roof snagging looks like in Jennett's Park
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you own a rental within reach of Martins Heron station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church such as St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
