Practical tips

- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Keep warranty papers safe
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
How new roof snagging works in Poundsbridge
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and broken coverings left on a new roof.
Some older homes in villages like Poundsbridge 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. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Local roofs and buyers in Poundsbridge
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Historic houses like Penshurst Place, about 1.6 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Poundsbridge goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
The streets around a church like All Souls Chapel are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

FAQs for Poundsbridge
Do you cover smaller places like Poundsbridge?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Poundsbridge in the area you cover?
Yes, Poundsbridge is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Poundsbridge often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
