How new roof snagging works in Bullsmoor
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and verge tiles or slates not secured.
In a smaller place like Bullsmoor, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can safely be seen.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Bullsmoor
Flashings are a common source of snags. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
Look out for signs like these:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St George's Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- What insurance they carry
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Questions from Bullsmoor
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bullsmoor?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bullsmoor as anywhere else.
Will you come out to Bullsmoor?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Pricing the remedial work
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
