New roof snagging in Hedgerley Green: what you get
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 leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on in good time. If you’ve noticed missing or blocked roof ventilation and underlay ending short at the eaves, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Hedgerley Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, 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 weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

How the survey works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Hedgerley Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey

Related advice
Signs you need new roof snagging in Hedgerley Green
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Before you book anyone
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What the survey won’t cover
- How soon the report will arrive
Tips that help
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is 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’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Hedgerley Green homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 4.5 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Hedgerley Green goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you own a rental within reach of Gerrards Cross station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Hedgerley Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hedgerley Green?
Yes, Hedgerley Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hedgerley Green as anywhere else.
Is Hedgerley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs frequently have snags at the verges and eaves. We look at them closely.
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We look at it where it can be seen.
What this survey can’t tell you
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Estimates of what fixes will cost

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
