New roof snagging in Titmore Green, Hertfordshire
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Titmore Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
Leave it or get it looked at?
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it’s applicable. Around Titmore Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, 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. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Prices that include VAT
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

About our new roof snagging in Titmore Green
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. If you’ve noticed underlay ending short at the eaves and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and replacement roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Titmore Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What affects the price in Titmore Green
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The size of the roof
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What we cannot see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

What new roof snagging looks like in Titmore Green
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Knebworth House, about 3.7 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Titmore Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you own a rental within reach of Stevenage station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Useful tips for Titmore Green property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Titmore Green
Is my home in Titmore Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Titmore Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Titmore Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long will you be on site?
It normally takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
What happens on the day
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, it typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check.
