About our new roof snagging in Britwell Salome
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, 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. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey ridges and verges, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates.
Being in a small place like Britwell Salome makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Common questions in Britwell Salome
How do I find out if my home in Britwell Salome is listed?
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.
Is Britwell Salome within the area you cover?
Yes, Britwell Salome is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Buying a home or a new roof in Britwell Salome
With Adwell House about 4.3 miles north-east, Britwell Salome sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. 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.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.

What happens on the day
