Useful tips for Martyr's Green property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Diary the defects period end date
- Check the roof before you pay in full
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
New roof snagging in Martyr's Green
Roof work often leaves debris 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. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about signs of condensation in the roof space and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Being in a small place like Martyr's Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.

Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Martyr's Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. Older cottages and farmhouses around Martyr's Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
