About our new roof snagging in Haddenham
We carry out new roof snagging in Haddenham and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’re worried about damage to other parts of the building and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Haddenham, 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. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Why act early in Haddenham
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Haddenham, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Homes around Haddenham frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it’s 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
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Buying a home or a new roof in Haddenham
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Waddesdon Manor, about 4.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Haddenham. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are looked at.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
All our prices include VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one

FAQs for Haddenham
Is Haddenham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Haddenham?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.

This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Details hidden from sight
- A promise that the roof will not leak
