New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Roundbush Green
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
For a small place like Roundbush Green, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

FAQs for Roundbush Green
Do you cover Roundbush Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Roundbush Green is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Roundbush Green?
Yes. Roundbush Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit normally takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.

What new roof snagging does not cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

What a survey costs

Roundbush Green homes and their roofs
Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. With Barrington Hall about 3.1 miles north-west, Roundbush Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mary: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
