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:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Anything about access we should know
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How new roof snagging works in Bray Wick
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We are often asked to look into missing or blocked roof ventilation and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Being in a small place like Bray Wick 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 as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Bray Wick
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Older and listed buildings around Bray Wick may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Bray Wick
- PI and public liability insurance
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- An independent view of the roof
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Bray Wick, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft

New roof snagging in Bray Wick: local notes
With Dorney Court about 1.8 miles east, Bray Wick sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Maidenhead station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. The streets around a church such as St Michael's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Bray Wick questions
Will you come out to Bray Wick?
Yes, Bray Wick is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bray Wick?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Useful tips for Bray Wick property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
