About our new roof snagging in Micklefield Green
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and new flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about missing or blocked roof ventilation and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Older buildings in small places like Micklefield Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Micklefield Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a report with photos of each snag.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Micklefield Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Micklefield Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Micklefield Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Micklefield Green is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
New roof snagging around Micklefield Green
The wider area around Micklefield Green has a long history of building, with Chenies Manor House about 2 miles west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of the Holy Cross, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a small place like Micklefield Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book.
