New roof snagging in East Burnham: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in East Burnham and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed flashings not properly dressed or fixed and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and new-build homes alike.
Somewhere as small as East Burnham, 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Prices for new roof snagging in East Burnham
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Every price we give includes VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before you book.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Buying a home or a new roof in East Burnham
Historic houses like Cliveden, about 2.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around East Burnham goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Common roof problems in East Burnham
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Poorly finished verges
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If you own a rental within reach of Burnham station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Outbuildings and barns around East Burnham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Prices that include VAT
- Over 20 years’ experience
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near East Burnham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
