Curridge New Roof Snagging
Wondering about the new roof at a property in Curridge? You can book new roof snagging in Curridge and across West Berkshire.
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Curridge, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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 checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
About our new roof snagging in Curridge
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’ve noticed damage to other parts of the building and untidy or loose verge details, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Curridge may be listed or 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, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Do you need new roof snagging in Curridge?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
Landlords with a home close to Newbury Racecourse station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Why it is worth a survey now in Curridge
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Older and listed buildings around Curridge may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

FAQs for Curridge
How do I find out if my home in Curridge is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Curridge in the area you cover?
Yes, Curridge is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

New roof snagging around Curridge
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. About 2.5 miles south-west lies Shaw House, a reminder of how long the area around Curridge has been built on.
