About our new roof snagging in Tewin
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed tiles or slates sitting out of line and signs of condensation in the roof space, we can find out what’s behind it, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
In a village or hamlet like Tewin, 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 are 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Tewin
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Buying a home or a new roof in Tewin
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. The wider area around Tewin has a long history of building, with Digswell House about 2.1 miles west. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Tewin: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tewin?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tewin?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Tewin is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
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.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a hamlet or village like Tewin, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What else we do in Tewin
Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tewin can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
