How new roof snagging works in Fawley Bottom
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and gutters blocked by building debris.
For a small place like Fawley Bottom, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What happens if roof problems are left?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

When to book a survey in Fawley Bottom
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Poorly finished verges
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
For landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What insurance they carry
Your questions about new roof snagging in Fawley Bottom
Do you carry out roof surveys in Fawley Bottom?
Yes, Fawley Bottom is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Fawley Bottom as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Fawley Bottom?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- What’s under the new coverings
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Repair costs for putting snags right

Landlords, agents and block managers in Fawley Bottom

Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Fawley Bottom homes and their roofs
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. With Stonor Park about 1.5 miles north, Fawley Bottom sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church like St Mary the Virgin's Church are often 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.
