New roof snagging in Newyears Green
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and new flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about gutters blocked by building debris and gaps at new flashings.
Some older homes in villages like Newyears Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Do you need new roof snagging in Newyears Green?
Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
For landlords with property near West Ruislip station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- When you will get the report
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple 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 heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Newyears Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Newyears Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Newyears Green?
Yes, Newyears Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Newyears Green?
Yes, Newyears Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
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.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that don’t sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
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.
Local roofs and buyers in Newyears Green
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. About 1.5 miles south-east lies Ickenham Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Newyears Green has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
