How new roof snagging works in Egypt
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We’re often asked to look into flashings not properly dressed or fixed and poorly finished verges, across ridges and verges, new-build homes and new flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Egypt, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are looked at.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are looked at closely.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- When you need the report by
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
What new roof snagging looks like in Egypt
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 3 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Egypt goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you own a rental within reach of Burnham station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Egypt, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets in another room
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

When to book a survey in Egypt
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Untidy or loose verge details
The streets around a church like St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What exactly goes into their report
Questions from Egypt
Do you cover smaller places like Egypt?
Yes, Egypt is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Egypt in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Egypt as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Egypt?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
