New roof snagging in Lyde Green
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey new-build homes, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are broken coverings left on a new roof and gaps at new flashings.
Somewhere as small as Lyde 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. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

For landlords and managing agents

Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- What’s under the new coverings
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint

What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Lyde 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, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
Lyde Green: your questions answered
Is Lyde Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Lyde Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Lyde Green?
Yes. Lyde Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Why act early in Lyde Green
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. In a small place like Lyde Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Over 20 years’ experience
- An independent look at the roof
- Prices that include VAT

Local roofs and buyers in Lyde Green
About 2.8 miles north lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Lyde Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. For an older house near a landmark like Rotherwick Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
