New roof snagging in Brighthampton
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. If you’re worried about gaps at new flashings and missing or blocked roof ventilation, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Brighthampton makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. 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. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Cottages and farmhouses around Brighthampton frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Different roofs, different checks
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are looked at closely.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Local roofs and buyers in Brighthampton
About 2.5 miles south lies Longworth House, a reminder of how long the area around Brighthampton has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark like St Giles' Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Brighthampton
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Brighthampton
Is Brighthampton in the area you cover?
Yes, Brighthampton is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Brighthampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photos for you to pass to your builder.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Brighthampton?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
What affects the price in Brighthampton
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Which survey package you book
- Height and safe access
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
