New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Hazlemere
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’ve noticed underlay at the eaves left exposed and verge tiles or slates not secured, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Hazlemere, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Hazlemere. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to Hazlemere is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are checked closely.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
When you need someone else
It helps to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Details hidden from sight
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Anything about access we should know
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- When you need the report by
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why it is worth a survey now in Hazlemere
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. In a smaller place like Hazlemere, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

New roof snagging around Hazlemere
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Hughenden Manor, about 2.1 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hazlemere. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Holy Trinity Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. If you let a flat or house near High Wycombe station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Hazlemere
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hazlemere?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Hazlemere in the area you cover?
Yes, Hazlemere is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
