Advice
About our new roof snagging in Wicken Bonhunt
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and debris left in gutters or valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Wicken Bonhunt 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. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
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 check the roof.
What new roof snagging looks like in Wicken Bonhunt
Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, alongside lots of post-war and newer estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Audley End House, about 3.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wicken Bonhunt. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. For landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Which survey package you book
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Wicken Bonhunt
How do I find out if my home in Wicken Bonhunt is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Wicken Bonhunt?
Yes, Wicken Bonhunt is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.

Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
