New roof snagging in Standon Green End, Hertfordshire
New roof snagging in Standon Green End, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
What happens if roof problems are left?
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

How new roof snagging works in Standon Green End
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. Common reasons to book are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, across new flat roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
For a small place like Standon Green End, 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 when you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.

What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.

Buying a home or a new roof in Standon Green End
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. About 4.5 miles east lies Much Hadham Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Standon Green End has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Common roof problems in Standon Green End
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Poorly finished verges
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Gutters blocked by building debris
Landlords with a home close to Ware station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Standon Green End can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible 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 the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
