Tips that help
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Book snagging before the final payment
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Burcott
A new roof is a big spend, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get 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 new-build homes, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay not dressed into the gutter and untidy or loose verge details.
Older buildings in small places like Burcott 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. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Burcott, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Burcott homes and their roofs
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of St James: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. Landlords with a home close to Aylesbury station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

How we price new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Which survey package you book
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The roof’s overall size
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Every price we give includes VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before you book.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The kind of building and roof involved
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Around Burcott, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
