About our new roof snagging in Braywoodside
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys alike.
For a small place like Braywoodside, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How we price new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The shape of the roof and its details
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available.

- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.

Common questions in Braywoodside
Do you carry out roof surveys in Braywoodside?
Yes, Braywoodside is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Braywoodside listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We don’t open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
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.
How do I book a survey in Braywoodside?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you need new roof snagging in Braywoodside?
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
