New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Priestwood Green
We carry out new roof snagging in Priestwood Green and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are broken coverings left on a new roof and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
Being in a small place like Priestwood Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Priestwood Green
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Landlords and agents in Priestwood Green book surveys as well as homeowners. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Priestwood Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Find any records of previous roof work

Priestwood Green: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Priestwood Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Priestwood Green?
Yes, Priestwood Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. 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.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
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 applicable.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.

Why act early in Priestwood Green
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. In a small place like Priestwood Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

When to book a survey in Priestwood Green

Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Gutters blocked by building debris
If you let a flat or house near Sole Street station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

New roof snagging in Priestwood Green: local notes
The wider area around Priestwood Green has a long history of building, with Cobham College about 2.9 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of Our Lady of the Meadow, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
