New roof snagging in Bisham, Buckinghamshire

- Underlay at the eaves left exposed

How new roof snagging works in Bisham
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Bisham makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Bisham
Do you cover Bisham?
Yes, Bisham is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Bisham as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Bisham listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.

What we’re asked to look at in Bisham
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Poorly finished verges
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely

What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- The kind of building and roof involved

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Bisham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
