  • Gutters or fascias damaged during the job

New roof snagging for Nash homes and businesses

Why get it checked now?

Raising snags before the final payment is typically simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. In a place like Nash, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

About our new roof snagging in Nash

We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay ending short at the eaves and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.

Some older homes in villages like Nash 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. Whether you’re 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.

Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we do, step by step

Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Nash frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.

  1. You tell us what work was done and when.
  2. The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
  3. Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
  4. The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
  5. You get a photo report of each snag.

Preparing for the visit

  • Jot down any questions you want answered
  • Let us know where we can park nearby
  • Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Booking a survey

Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

Advice

Landlord and commercial surveys in Nash

With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging

Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:

  • How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
  • Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
  • Basic, Standard or Premium
  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings

Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What we need to know

Before you get in touch, it helps to have:

  • Your timetable, like an exchange date
  • Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
  • Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Common roof problems in Nash

Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.

We are often asked to look at:

  • Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
  • Gutters blocked by building debris
  • Verge tiles or slates not secured
  • Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work

If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What to check before booking

  • Their drone registration, if they fly one
  • Their report turnaround times
  • How long they’ve been surveying roofs
  • What the survey will not cover

FAQs for Nash

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nash?

You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.

Is Nash in the area you cover?

We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.

Does this replace a RICS home survey?

No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.

What does a new roof inspection cost?

New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

How do I book a survey in Nash?

To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.

Will you check every nail and clip?

No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.

Local roofs and buyers in Nash

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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.

Can I check my roof myself?

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
