New roof snagging in Newman's End: what you get
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. Typical surveys look at damage to other parts of the building and debris left in gutters or valleys, across flashings and valleys, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
Being in a small place like Newman's End makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Newman's End: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Newman's End?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Newman's End within the area you cover?
Yes. Newman's End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How do I book a survey in Newman's End?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
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.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Newman's End homes and their roofs
The wider area around Newman's End has a long history of building, with Barrington Hall about 3.8 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For landlords with property near Sawbridgeworth station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the new roof.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there.

Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
