About our new roof snagging in East Claydon
We carry out new roof snagging in East Claydon and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where it applies. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay ending short at the eaves and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Older buildings in small places like East Claydon may be listed or 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’s 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What affects the price in East Claydon
We confirm the exact price before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
What we’re asked to look at in East Claydon
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the survey won’t cover
- What happens after the report arrives
- What insurance they carry
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
New roof snagging in East Claydon: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. With Claydon House about 1.2 miles west, East Claydon sits in an area with a long building history. 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.

Your questions about new roof snagging in East Claydon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Claydon?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover East Claydon?
Yes, East Claydon is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like East Claydon, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Related advice
Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
