How new roof snagging works in Park Street
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Some older homes in villages like Park Street are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Useful tips for Park Street property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Diary the defects period end date
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check the roof before you pay in full
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
When to book a survey in Park Street
Most householders cannot get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What we do, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Park Street often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets in another room
- Let us know about parking before the day

Why it is worth a survey now in Park Street
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Outbuildings and barns around Park Street are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. About 2.7 miles south-west lies High Elms Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Park Street 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.
