New roof snagging around Great Haseley
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With Garsington Manor about 3.5 miles west, Great Haseley sits in an area with a long building history. 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.

New roof snagging in Great Haseley: what you get
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We’re often asked to look into tiles or slates sitting out of line and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, across loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Great Haseley, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Great Haseley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
When to book a survey in Great Haseley
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Untidy or loose verge details
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before you book anyone
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their drone registration, if they fly one

What else we do in Great Haseley
Why it is worth a survey now in Great Haseley
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Outbuildings and barns around Great Haseley 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.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Common questions in Great Haseley
Do you cover Great Haseley?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Great Haseley is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Great Haseley?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Roof types and parts we check
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys

- Ridges and verges
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
