How new roof snagging works in Brimpton
Our snagging inspections cover Brimpton and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you are worried about verge tiles or slates not secured and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Brimpton are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs as far as can be seen safely.
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
What affects the price in Brimpton
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Roof area
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Anything about access we should know
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What made you get in touch
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Brimpton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
What new roof snagging looks like in Brimpton
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
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. The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Brimpton
Will you come out to Brimpton?
Yes. Brimpton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is my home in Brimpton listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
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 photographs to raise with the builder.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
