New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Dedworth
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you are worried about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and poorly finished verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers alike.
In a smaller place like Dedworth, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
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, and what we’d suggest next.

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos. On timing, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. A visit to a smaller place like Dedworth is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible 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 photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check we can get to the back of the property

FAQs for Dedworth
Do you cover Dedworth?
Yes, Dedworth is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Dedworth?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
How do I book a survey in Dedworth?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
What happens if roof problems are left?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Dedworth, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

When to book a survey in Dedworth
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong, particularly when the weather is against them.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Gaps at new flashings
If you own a rental within reach of Windsor & Eton Central station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Buying a home or a new roof in Dedworth
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. The wider area around Dedworth has a long history of building, with St Leonard's Hill about 0.6 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near All Saints Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
