About our new roof snagging in Lower Titmore Green
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. If you are worried about loose or badly finished ridge tiles and untidy or loose verge details, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Lower Titmore Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Lower Titmore Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Why act early in Lower Titmore Green
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. Outbuildings and barns around Lower Titmore Green 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.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. We look at them closely.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Lower Titmore Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Questions from Lower Titmore Green
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Titmore Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Lower Titmore Green?
Yes, Lower Titmore Green is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What new roof snagging looks like in Lower Titmore Green
Historic houses like Knebworth House, about 3.5 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Lower Titmore Green goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Stevenage station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
