New Roof Snagging in Bradenham
New roof snagging in Bradenham, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photos.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly where they can be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
About our new roof snagging in Bradenham
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. Typical surveys look at cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and underlay not dressed into the gutter, across replacement roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes.
Somewhere as small as Bradenham, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

New roof snagging in Bradenham: local notes
About 1.8 miles south lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Bradenham has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Take an older house close to Church of St Botolph: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Bradenham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Jot down any questions you want answered

What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

For an older or listed building in a place like Bradenham, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
