New roof snagging in Burroughs Grove
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’re worried about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Burroughs Grove makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
Local roofs and buyers in Burroughs Grove
Historic houses such as Harleyford Manor, about 3.3 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Burroughs Grove goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For landlords with property near Marlow station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mary the Virgin, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Common questions in Burroughs Grove
Do you cover smaller places like Burroughs Grove?
Yes. Burroughs Grove is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burroughs Grove?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It usually takes about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.

Roofs we survey in Burroughs Grove
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
What you can safely check yourself
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Burroughs Grove, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft
