New roof snagging in Clifton Hampden: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a report with photographs to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about missing or blocked roof ventilation and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
Somewhere as small as Clifton Hampden, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

The survey, step by step
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. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Clifton Hampden needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a report with photos of each snag.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Clifton Hampden
Do you cover smaller places like Clifton Hampden?
Yes, Clifton Hampden is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Clifton Hampden?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Clifton Hampden as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
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.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.

What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Leave it or get it looked at?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Outbuildings and barns around Clifton Hampden are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

What new roof snagging looks like in Clifton Hampden
Clifton Hampden Manor, about 0.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Clifton Hampden. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
