New roof snagging in Maiden's Green: what you get
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’re worried about gutters blocked by building debris and verge tiles or slates not secured, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Maiden's Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Buying a home or a new roof in Maiden's Green
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. St Leonard's Hill, about 3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Maiden's Green. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Prices for new roof snagging in Maiden's Green
We confirm the price for the job before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Height and safe access
- The shape of the roof and its details
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- What made you get in touch
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can be seen safely.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Maiden's Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Maiden's Green
Do you cover Maiden's Green?
Yes, Maiden's Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Maiden's Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
When to book a survey in Maiden's Green
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
If you let a flat or house near Martins Heron station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Will the report include photos?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
