About our new roof snagging in Touchen-end
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’re worried about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Touchen-end, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.

Advice
Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
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.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Touchen-end
How do I find out if my home in Touchen-end is listed?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Touchen-end?
Yes. Touchen-end is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
