About our new roof snagging in North Looe
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you are worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and tiles or slates sitting out of line, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as North Looe, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Your questions about new roof snagging in North Looe
Will you come out to North Looe?
Yes, North Looe is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in North Looe is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea when booking.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Signs you need new roof snagging in North Looe
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

New roof snagging in North Looe: local notes
Historic houses like Fitznells Manor, about 1.3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around North Looe goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
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.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How big the roof is
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, tell us about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around North Looe, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
