What we look for on each type of roof

The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
New roof snagging in Fenny Stratford
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. Typical surveys look at gutters or fascias damaged during the job and verge tiles or slates not secured, on flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and new-build homes.
In a smaller place like Fenny Stratford, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
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.

Useful tips for Fenny Stratford property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Diary the defects period end date
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.

Why act early in Fenny Stratford
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Blocked gutters on homes around Fenny Stratford overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Plain-English reports with photos

Fenny Stratford homes and their roofs
With Bletchley Park about 1.1 miles west, Fenny Stratford sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
The streets around a church like Church of St Martin are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
