How new roof snagging works in Strood Green
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. If you’ve noticed debris left in gutters or valleys and missing or blocked roof ventilation, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Strood 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 when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
The written findings come 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.

Why act early in Strood Green
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where it applies. In a place like Strood Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. They’re photographed for the report.
What we’re asked to look at in Strood Green
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Poorly finished verges
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Take an older house close to Christ Church: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the survey will not cover

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.
New roof snagging in Strood Green: local notes
With Polesden Lacey about 4.6 miles north-west, Strood Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Landlords with a home close to Betchworth station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Questions from Strood Green
Is my home in Strood Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Strood Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Strood Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We look in the roof space, where there is 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 the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
