New roof snagging in Caversham Park Village: what you get
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. It’s all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey ridges and verges, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are debris left in gutters or valleys and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Caversham Park Village, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. That applies whether you are buying in Caversham Park Village or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Caversham Park Village: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Caversham Park Village?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Caversham Park Village?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How do I book a survey in Caversham Park Village?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
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.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
New roof snagging around Caversham Park Village
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Historic houses such as Mapledurham House, about 3.6 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Caversham Park Village goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Reading 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 All Saints Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Why act early in Caversham Park Village
A defects or warranty period does not last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Arranging work in a smaller place like Caversham Park Village is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.

We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a survey in Caversham Park Village, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
