About our new roof snagging in Maylandsea
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. Common reasons to book are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, across loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Maylandsea are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

New roof snagging around Maylandsea
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Maylandsea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea. In Essex, older buildings are often clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, alongside a good many post-war and newer estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own a rental within reach of Althorne station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
In and around Maylandsea, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Their insurance cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Questions from Maylandsea
Is Maylandsea within the area you cover?
Yes, Maylandsea is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Maylandsea 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.

Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.

We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older roofs in small places like Maylandsea can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
