About our new roof snagging in Aspley Heath
Our snagging inspections cover Aspley Heath and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes an hour or two at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’re worried about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Aspley Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Aspley Heath homes and their roofs
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. Woburn Abbey, about 2.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Aspley Heath. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of Saint Michael, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. For landlords with property near Woburn Sands station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What you can safely check yourself
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. Don’t go up yourself.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Aspley Heath questions
Will you come out to Aspley Heath?
Yes, Aspley Heath is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Aspley Heath?

Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We will give you an idea when you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Aspley Heath can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
