Independent new roof snagging in Bradville

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Bradville

We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. Common reasons to book are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and tiles or slates sitting out of line, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.

Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Bradville, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Bradville. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.

Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why it is worth a survey now in Bradville

Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Around Bradville, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.

Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Why book with us

  • We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • Independent findings on the roof’s condition
  • Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
  • Two decades and more of roof surveys

Checking the roof from the ground

Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.

Bradville: your questions answered

How do I find out if my home in Bradville is listed?

We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Bradville be checked too?

Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it as you book. On buildings from before 2000, cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos and should be checked by a specialist asbestos surveyor before anyone disturbs them.

Will you check the loft?

Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.

Are you insured?

We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

How much is new roof snagging?

Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.

Will you walk on the roof?

Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.

Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?

We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Local roofs and buyers in Bradville

With Linford Manor about 1.5 miles north-east, Bradville sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.

If you own a rental within reach of Wolverton station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

How the survey works

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Bradville, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.

  1. We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
  2. We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
  3. We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
  4. The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
  5. You get a photo report of each snag.

How to prepare

  • Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
  • Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
  • For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Landlord and commercial surveys in Bradville

Letting agents and landlords in Bradville book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.

Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.

Useful tips for Bradville property owners

Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:

  • Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
  • File all paperwork for the new roof
  • Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
  • Watch for drips in the loft space with care

Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.

Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.

What we are asked to look at in Bradville

Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.

Problems we come across often include:

  • Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
  • Debris left in gutters or valleys
  • Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
  • Poorly finished verges

If you live in an older home near Christ Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Before booking anyone

  • Is VAT included in the price?
  • Will the report include photos?
  • Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
  • Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
