New roof snagging in Buckinghamshire: how it works

Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted 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. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. Typical surveys look at loose or badly finished ridge tiles and damage to other parts of the building, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and replacement roofs.

Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof.

  1. We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
  2. We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
  3. Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
  4. The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
  5. We send a written report with photos of each snag.

Around Aylesbury

Typical jobs here are in homes near Buckinghamshire UTC, Stocklake Park Community School and The Derby Arms Public House, among other places. Nearby too are Bearbrook Combined School (0.5 miles west) and Church of St Mary (within half a mile north). Aylesbury has its own railway station: Aylesbury station. Other landmarks nearby include Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (less than half a mile east) and Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (under half a mile north). For a walk, there’s Coombe Hill.

Buying a home or a new roof across Buckinghamshire

Across Buckinghamshire, we check roofs on houses, flats and bungalows, from Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham to the quieter places in between. Older homes bring slate, clay tiles and lead; newer ones concrete tiles and modern membranes.

Our surveys reach from London out to Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, the Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and Buckinghamshire is well within that. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends.

Aylesbury: If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

When you need someone else

No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:

  • Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
  • What’s under the new coverings
  • Pricing the remedial work

Landlord and commercial surveys in Buckinghamshire

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.

What happens if roof problems are left?

It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise.

Before you book any surveyor

  • Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
  • How much experience they have with roofs like yours
  • How they plan to inspect the roof safely
  • What the survey will not cover

Different roofs, different checks

Valleys

Offcuts in a valley can hold water. We note anything left behind.

Clay and concrete tiles

Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded as far as can be seen.

Should I look at the roof myself first?

A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Buckinghamshire

What do you check on a new roof?

Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.

What if it rains on the day?

Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.

Can you survey at the weekend?

Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.

How do I book a survey in Buckinghamshire?

The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey seven days a week.

What insurance do you have?

Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.

Do you cover Buckinghamshire?

Yes. We carry out new roof snagging in Buckinghamshire.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
