Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Beenham Stocks
We report on what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’ve noticed offcuts and broken tiles left behind and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it, on replacement roofs, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Older buildings in small places like Beenham Stocks may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
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 applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local roofs and buyers in Beenham Stocks
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Do you need new roof snagging in Beenham Stocks?
Most householders cannot get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
Look out for signs like these:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you own a rental within reach of Aldermaston station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Their report turnaround times
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Why act early in Beenham Stocks
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Older cottages and farmhouses around Beenham Stocks can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Beenham Stocks often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Getting a price
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Related advice
Beenham Stocks: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Beenham Stocks?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Beenham Stocks?
Yes, Beenham Stocks is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Beenham Stocks as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
