Your questions about new roof snagging in Nash
Is Nash in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is my home in Nash listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How do I book a survey in Nash?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Nash
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. Typical surveys look at tiles or slates sitting out of line and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, across new-build homes, ridges and verges and new flat roofs.
Many London homes have been converted into flats, extended at the back or given a loft conversion with a dormer. Every alteration brings new junctions, flashings and flat-roof areas to look at. For a purchase in Nash, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a close look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs frequently have snags at the verges and eaves. We look at them closely.
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.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
New roof snagging around Nash
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With Down House about 2.4 miles south-east, Nash sits in an area with a long building history. 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, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For a London address like Nash, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space. Take an older house close to Keston Parish Church: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What else we do in Nash
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Related advice
What we’re asked to look at in Nash
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Poorly finished verges
Landlords with a home close to Hayes (Kent) station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
