About our new roof snagging in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed damage to other parts of the building and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Tilbury Juxta Clare, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Checking the roof from the ground
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Tilbury Juxta Clare homes and their roofs
Hedingham Castle, about 3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tilbury Juxta Clare. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Essex, older buildings are often clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, alongside plenty of post-war and newer estates. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Margaret, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Tilbury Juxta Clare can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- 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.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a report with photos of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Arrange a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there is a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Tilbury Juxta Clare: your questions answered
Is Tilbury Juxta Clare in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Tilbury Juxta Clare as anywhere else.
Is my home in Tilbury Juxta Clare listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is checked where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
