New roof snagging in Radwinter: what you get
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Common reasons to book are tiles or slates sitting out of line and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, across new-build homes, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Radwinter may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Radwinter: your questions answered
Is Radwinter in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Radwinter is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Radwinter within the area you cover?
Yes. Radwinter is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Details hidden from sight

How we price new roof snagging

- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
When to book a survey in Radwinter
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection

The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof.

- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear

What new roof snagging looks like in Radwinter
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
