Aldermaston Wharf questions
Do you cover Aldermaston Wharf?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is Aldermaston Wharf within the area you cover?
Yes. Aldermaston Wharf is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Aldermaston Wharf?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
How new roof snagging works in Aldermaston Wharf
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. If you’ve noticed underlay not dressed into the gutter and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers alike.
For a small place like Aldermaston Wharf, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Aldermaston Wharf, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- File all paperwork for the new roof
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
What new roof snagging looks like in Aldermaston Wharf
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Landlords with a home close to Aldermaston station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Aldermaston Wharf often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
