About our new roof snagging in Rush Green
Our snagging inspections cover Rush Green and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photographs. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
Homes across London range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war blocks and new developments, so a property in Rush Green might be any of these. Whether the roof is old or newly laid, the problem areas depend on how and when the building went up. Slate roofs, butterfly valleys, parapet gutters and flat-roofed rear additions each have their own weak points.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

When to book a survey in Rush Green
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
For an older house near a landmark like St Augustine of Canterbury Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Are they insured for the work?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey

Your questions about new roof snagging in Rush Green
Do you cover Rush Green?
Yes, Rush Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Rush Green?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.

New roof snagging in Rush Green: local notes
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. The wider area around Rush Green has a long history of building, with Hare Hall about 2.1 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Parking in Rush Green, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier. Landlords with a home close to Romford station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Rush Green is about 1 mile south-west of Romford, in Greater London. We survey roofs in Rush Green and the rest of Greater London. Our Greater London coverage includes Rush Green and the places around it. There’s also a page for London.
We work across RM7, RM1 and RM12 for new roof snagging and the streets around it. We offer new roof snagging to properties on Crow Lane, Union Road and Maldon Road. Close by, we survey roofs in Romford (1 mile north-east), Becontree Heath (1 mile west), Chadwell Heath (1 mile north-west), Elm Park (2 miles south-east) and Becontree (2 miles south-west).

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Rush Green moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Book a survey
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
