How we price new roof snagging
We confirm the exact price before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
New roof snagging in Turnford
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. Typical surveys look at debris left in gutters or valleys and gaps at new flashings, on loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
Around Turnford, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Turnford
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Gaps at new flashings
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Clement, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

What new roof snagging looks like in Turnford
With Forty Hall about 4 miles south-west, Turnford sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. 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 Cheshunt station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Common questions in Turnford
Is Turnford in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Turnford as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Turnford?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Turnford?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How the survey works
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, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Turnford, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave side gates unlocked

What happens if roof problems are left?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Homes in smaller places like Turnford can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Why us?
