New roof snagging in Hardwick, Buckinghamshire
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in Hardwick, and put it all in a report with photos.
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are looked at.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong, so we check them carefully.
How new roof snagging works in Hardwick
We carry out new roof snagging in Hardwick and across London and the South East. A visit normally takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed flashings not properly dressed or fixed and debris left in gutters or valleys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Hardwick, 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 when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. In a place like Hardwick, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Questions from Hardwick
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hardwick?
Yes, Hardwick is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Hardwick 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 are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How we price new roof snagging
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
For a price for your roof in Hardwick, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Hardwick can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Hardwick homes and their roofs
With Waddesdon Manor about 4.8 miles west, Hardwick sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Hardwick is about 3 miles north of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Whether the building in Hardwick is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across Buckinghamshire. Our Milton Keynes page covers surveys nearby.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
