Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. In a place like Shreding Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

About our new roof snagging in Shreding Green
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are underlay ending short at the eaves and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
In a village or hamlet like Shreding Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

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.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Shreding Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Questions from Shreding Green
Do you cover smaller places like Shreding Green?
Yes. Shreding Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Shreding Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is this an asbestos survey?
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.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
What we are asked to look at in Shreding Green
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Look out for signs like these:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Gaps at new flashings
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
What to check before booking
- What the survey won’t cover
- What happens after the report arrives
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
