New roof snagging in Furzton
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and new-build homes, and people most often book us about tiles or slates sitting out of line and poorly finished verges.
In a smaller place like Furzton, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you are 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 often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Why get it checked now?
Raising snags before the final payment is typically simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In an older home around Furzton, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.

All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:

Furzton questions
How do I find out if my home in Furzton is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Furzton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
What new roof snagging looks like in Furzton
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. 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 Bletchley Park, about 1.1 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Furzton goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as Church of the Servant King are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you let a flat or house near Bletchley station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a survey in Furzton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
