Useful tips for Northchapel property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
How new roof snagging works in Northchapel
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We’re frequently asked to look into cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and untidy or loose verge details, on new flat roofs, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers.
Some older homes in villages like Northchapel 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 report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

FAQs for Northchapel
Do you carry out roof surveys in Northchapel?
Yes, Northchapel is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Northchapel?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Northchapel, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
