Bunkers Hill: your questions answered
Is Bunkers Hill in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Bunkers Hill is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Bunkers Hill?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe and check for damage left by the job.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
How much is new roof snagging?
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, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
About our new roof snagging in Bunkers Hill
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are missing or blocked roof ventilation and gutters blocked by building debris.
Older buildings in small places like Bunkers Hill may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Bunkers Hill
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. For older village homes like those around Bunkers Hill, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Bunkers Hill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Common roof problems in Bunkers Hill
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
The streets around a church such as Church of Holy Cross are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Buying a home or a new roof in Bunkers Hill
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. With Blenheim Palace about 2.3 miles south-west, Bunkers Hill sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Tackley station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
