New roof snagging in Tendring Green
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It is all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you’ve noticed missing or blocked roof ventilation and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Tendring Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What new roof snagging looks like in Tendring Green
Tendring Green is within about 4 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. With Thorpe Hall about 3.6 miles south-east, Tendring 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.
If you let a flat or house near Weeley station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Edmund, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Tendring Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Tendring Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Tendring Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Why get it checked now?
Photographs from ground level rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where applicable. In a place like Tendring Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why us?
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- 20+ years’ experience
- Every finding written up with photos
Take a look at what a roof survey costs or two real surveys.
Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
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. Don’t go up yourself.
What this survey cannot tell you
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Details hidden from sight
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Tendring Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. We look at them closely.
