About our new roof snagging in World's End
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We’re often asked to look into tiles or slates sitting out of line and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, across loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
For a small place like World's End, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
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.

World's End: your questions answered
Is World's End in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and World's End is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to World's End?
Yes, World's End is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
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.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around World's End frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

World's End homes and their roofs
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. Around World's End, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
