About our new roof snagging in Church Enstone
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on in good time. If you’ve noticed tiles or slates sitting out of line and missing or blocked roof ventilation, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Church Enstone are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Church Enstone frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
How to book

Local roofs and buyers in Church Enstone
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you’re 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.
