New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Chadlington
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey new-build homes, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Older buildings in small places like Chadlington 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 is worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Chadlington can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks, so we look at them closely.
FAQs for Chadlington
Is Chadlington in the area you cover?
Yes, Chadlington is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Chadlington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
New roof snagging in Chadlington: local notes
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.

What we are asked to look at in Chadlington
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, particularly when the weather is against them.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Prices for new roof snagging in Chadlington
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Useful tips for Chadlington property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
