New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Edgehill
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on in good time. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about gutters blocked by building debris and signs of condensation in the roof space.
Being in a small place like Edgehill makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Edgehill
How do I find out if my home in Edgehill is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Edgehill?
Yes. Edgehill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Edgehill, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. 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.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

New roof snagging around Edgehill
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. With Upton House about 1 mile south, Edgehill 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.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so it needs to be finished well. We look at the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we look at them carefully.
