How new roof snagging works in Burnham Green
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. You get a report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and poorly finished verges.
Somewhere as small as Burnham Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Burnham Green
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photographs.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Burnham Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

New roof snagging in Burnham Green: local notes
With Digswell House about 1.9 miles south-west, Burnham Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.

Do you need new roof snagging in Burnham Green?

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Leave it or get it looked at?
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. For older village homes like those around Burnham Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Burnham Green questions
Is Burnham Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Burnham Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Burnham Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Burnham Green as anywhere else.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
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’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
