Useful tips for Tingrith property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
About our new roof snagging in Tingrith
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey replacement roofs, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates.
For a small place like Tingrith, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tingrith: your questions answered
Is Tingrith in the area you cover?
Yes, Tingrith is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Tingrith as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Tingrith?
Yes, Tingrith is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
New roof snagging around Tingrith
About 1.8 miles north-east lies Flitwick Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Tingrith has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you own a rental within reach of Harlington station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Tingrith can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Check pets are kept safely away
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Roof by roof
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.

What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Legal advice on your contract
- Repair costs for putting snags right
