How new roof snagging works in Milton Keynes
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. 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. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are debris left in gutters or valleys and loose or badly finished ridge tiles.
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Signs you need new roof snagging
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so a new slate roof should be laid well. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Questions from Milton Keynes
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and photograph what we find. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Milton Keynes?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
