New Roof Snagging in Round Bush
Get a clear view of the new roof at a property in Round Bush. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Untidy or loose verge details
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Round Bush, 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.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

New roof snagging in Round Bush: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in Round Bush and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Typical surveys look at poorly finished verges and damage to other parts of the building, across replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
Somewhere as small as Round Bush, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Round Bush
Letting agents and landlords in Round Bush book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Leave it or get it looked at?
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. For older village homes like those around Round Bush, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Questions from Round Bush
Will you come out to Round Bush?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Round Bush in the area you cover?
Yes, Round Bush is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What new roof snagging does not cover
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Pricing the remedial work
- How the roof will perform for years to come
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What new roof snagging looks like in Round Bush
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Historic houses such as High Elms Manor, about 2.9 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Round Bush goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you let a flat or house near Radlett station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Common roof problems in Round Bush
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Gaps at new flashings
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
