New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Clanfield
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Common reasons to book are missing or blocked roof ventilation and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new-build homes.
For a small place like Clanfield, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Clanfield
Is my home in Clanfield listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Clanfield in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What happens if roof problems are left?
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. Our report lists what to raise. Older and listed buildings around Clanfield may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

What we’re asked to look at in Clanfield
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Poorly finished verges
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Stephen, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
Landlord and commercial surveys in Clanfield
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
What new roof snagging looks like in Clanfield
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. With Kelmscott Manor about 2.7 miles south-west, Clanfield sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What we cannot see
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- What’s under the new coverings
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Clanfield, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
