How new roof snagging works in Brimpton Common
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’re worried about signs of condensation in the roof space and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and replacement roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Brimpton Common, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Brimpton Common questions
Do you cover Brimpton Common?
Yes, Brimpton Common is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Brimpton Common?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I book a survey in Brimpton Common?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Brimpton Common
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. In a small place like Brimpton Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.

New roof snagging in Brimpton Common: local notes
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
