About our new roof snagging in Pinkneys Green
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’re worried about untidy or loose verge details and signs of condensation in the roof space, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Pinkneys Green, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Pinkneys Green. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. In an older home around Pinkneys Green, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Buying a home or a new roof in Pinkneys Green
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. About 2.6 miles north-west lies Harleyford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Pinkneys Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. James the Less, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. Landlords with a home close to Furze Platt station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Pinkneys Green
How do I find out if my home in Pinkneys Green 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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Pinkneys Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
What do you check on a new roof?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photos to raise with the builder.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
