About our new roof snagging in Newnham
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. Typical surveys look at broken coverings left on a new roof and underlay not dressed into the gutter, on new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
Somewhere as small as Newnham, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
Do you need new roof snagging in Newnham?
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Damage to other parts of the building
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St. Nicholas, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Newnham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Newnham: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Newnham?
Yes, Newnham is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Newnham is listed?
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.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
