New roof snagging in Broughton Crossing
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you are worried about gutters blocked by building debris and missing or blocked roof ventilation, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Broughton Crossing makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What else we do in Broughton Crossing
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Broughton Crossing, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property

Common questions in Broughton Crossing
How do I find out if my home in Broughton Crossing is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Broughton Crossing within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photos to raise with the builder.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you climb onto every 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 anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
New roof snagging around Broughton Crossing
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

When to book a survey in Broughton Crossing
Many people book because something doesn’t look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
