For landlords and managing agents

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
New roof snagging in Dunton: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, 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. You get a report with photographs that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. Typical surveys look at offcuts and broken tiles left behind and underlay not dressed into the gutter, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Dunton are listed or sit 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

New roof snagging in Dunton: local notes
With Ascott House about 4.4 miles east, Dunton sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Martin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Keep the contract and invoices together
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:

Dunton questions
Is Dunton in the area you cover?
Yes, Dunton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Dunton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Dunton?
Yes. Dunton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Dunton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
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.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that don’t sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are looked at closely on new slate roofs as far as can safely be seen.
