New roof snagging in Great Rollright
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’re worried about verge tiles or slates not secured and gutters blocked by building debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes alike.
Some older homes in villages like Great Rollright are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Great Rollright: your questions answered
Is Great Rollright in the area you cover?
Yes, Great Rollright is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Rollright?
Yes, Great Rollright is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
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.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Why get it checked now?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where it applies. Older and listed buildings around Great Rollright may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

- Details hidden from sight
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder

Buying a home or a new roof in Great Rollright
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 4.9 miles west lies Chastleton House, a reminder of how long the area around Great Rollright has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.

- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Untidy or loose verge details
