About our new roof snagging in Shalden Green
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’re worried about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Shalden Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Shalden Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check 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’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive

FAQs for Shalden Green
Will you come out to Shalden Green?
Yes, Shalden Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you cover Shalden Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Shalden Green as anywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Shalden Green
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Diary the defects period end date
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
