Tattenham Corner New Roof Snagging
A careful look at the new roof at your property in Tattenham Corner, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
When to book a survey in Tattenham Corner
Flashings are a common source of snags. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Damage to other parts of the building
Landlords with a home close to Tattenham Corner station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

How new roof snagging works in Tattenham Corner
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. It’s all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
For a small place like Tattenham Corner, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at 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 any day of the week.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Buying a home or a new roof in Tattenham Corner
Fitznells Manor, about 3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tattenham Corner. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mark, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Questions from Tattenham Corner
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tattenham Corner?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Tattenham Corner is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Is Tattenham Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, 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.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
