New roof snagging in Glympton
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. Common reasons to book are gaps at new flashings and debris left in gutters or valleys, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
For a small place like Glympton, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Common questions in Glympton
Do you cover smaller places like Glympton?
Yes, Glympton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Glympton?
Yes, Glympton is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
How do I book a survey in Glympton?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Do you need new roof snagging in Glympton?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level before you pay.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Poorly finished verges
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
Landlords with a home close to Tackley station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Keep the contract and invoices together
You receive a photo-illustrated written report of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Prices for new roof snagging in Glympton
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- What kind of property and roof it is
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Why act early in Glympton
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Outbuildings and barns around Glympton are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Why book us in Glympton
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Prices that include VAT
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Glympton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
