New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Nether Street
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photographs that you can pass to your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you are worried about loose flashings at walls or chimneys and underlay ending short at the eaves, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Nether Street, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
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.

Prices for new roof snagging in Nether Street
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Roof area
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Questions from Nether Street
Will you come out to Nether Street?
Yes, Nether Street is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Nether Street in the area you cover?
Yes, Nether Street is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not 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.
Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- File all paperwork for the new roof
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Why act early in Nether Street
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. For an older or listed building in a place like Nether Street, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Prices that include VAT
- Surveys on any day of the week
- More than 5,000 surveys completed

How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, it usually takes about one to two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Nether Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

What else we do in Nether Street
Buying a home or a new roof in Nether Street
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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. About 2.3 miles north lies Much Hadham Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Nether Street has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
