New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Delly End
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Delly End, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Why get it checked now?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Older and listed buildings around Delly End may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Useful tips for Delly End property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
New roof snagging around Delly End
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. The wider area around Delly End has a long history of building, with Minster Lovell Hall about 2.2 miles south-west. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Evangelist, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
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.
