New roof snagging in Easington
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Common reasons to book are signs of condensation in the roof space and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, on replacement roofs, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers.
Somewhere as small as Easington, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Prices for new roof snagging in Easington
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Why act early in Easington
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. In a place like Easington, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What you get with us
- Package prices that include VAT
- PI and public liability insurance
- An independent view of the roof
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are looked at closely on new slate roofs from safe vantage points.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
When you need someone else
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Pricing the remedial work
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles

Buying a home or a new roof in Easington
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. About 4.6 miles north-west lies Boarstall Tower, a reminder of how long the area around Easington has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Common roof problems in Easington
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
The streets around a church like Parish Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Easington: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Easington?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Easington?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Easington is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It usually takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and photograph what we find. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
