About our new roof snagging in Greenham
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gutters blocked by building debris and underlay ending short at the eaves.
For a small place like Greenham, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we are asked to look at in Greenham
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’re asked to look at include:
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
For landlords with property near Newbury Racecourse station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What they will not be able to tell you
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles

Local roofs and buyers in Greenham
The wider area around Greenham has a long history of building, with Shaw House about 1.9 miles north. 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. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Greenham
Is my home in Greenham listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Greenham?
Yes, Greenham is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Greenham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Why it’s worth a survey now in Greenham
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a place like Greenham, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
