About our new roof snagging in Tye Green
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s 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. Common reasons to book are cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, on new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges.
Some older homes in villages like Tye Green are listed or sit 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Questions from Tye Green
Is Tye Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Tye Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tye Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.

- Whether the roof will leak in future

- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys

When to book a survey in Tye Green
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
If you live in an older home near St Barnabas, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their insurance cover
- Will the report include photos?

Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Why get it checked now?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where applicable. In a place like Tye Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
All our prices include VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before you book.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Tye Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Local roofs and buyers in Tye Green
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask. In Essex, older buildings are often clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you let a flat or house near Cressing station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
