About our new roof snagging in Danesfield
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and debris left in gutters or valleys.
For a small place like Danesfield, 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 when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Danesfield
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Danesfield, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

What else we do in Danesfield
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Danesfield can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Book a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
New roof snagging around Danesfield
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Harleyford Manor, about 0.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Danesfield. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. For landlords with property near Marlow station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Danesfield questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Danesfield?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Danesfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Danesfield is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What affects the price in Danesfield
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- What’s prompted the survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
