New roof snagging in Bayworth
Our snagging inspections cover Bayworth and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site typically takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs, and people most often book us about debris left in gutters or valleys and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
Being in a small place like Bayworth makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Bayworth
Your questions about new roof snagging in Bayworth
Is Bayworth in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bayworth as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bayworth?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photos to raise with the builder.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Cottages and farmhouses around Bayworth often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Arrange a survey
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. We note anything left behind.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Why it is worth a survey now in Bayworth
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. For an older or listed building in a place like Bayworth, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What you get with us
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Visits on any day of the week

Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
Bayworth homes and their roofs
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. The wider area around Bayworth has a long history of building, with Appleton Manor about 3.5 miles west. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you let a flat or house near Radley station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. Take an older house close to Church of St Leonard: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
