New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Rush Green
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photographs to share with your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Typical surveys look at vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
Some older homes in villages like Rush Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near Rush Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Find any records of previous roof work

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Rush Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Rush Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Rush Green?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Rush Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Rush Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.

New roof snagging around Rush Green
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
