New roof snagging around Hinton Waldrist
About 0.4 miles north-east lies Longworth House, a reminder of how long the area around Hinton Waldrist has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. 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 Margaret: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

New roof snagging in Hinton Waldrist: what you get
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. Typical surveys look at debris left in gutters or valleys and signs of condensation in the roof space, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
Somewhere as small as Hinton Waldrist, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

More services for Hinton Waldrist
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check before your warranty period ends
- File all paperwork for the new roof
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes 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. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded as far as can be seen.
The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Hinton Waldrist can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hinton Waldrist
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a place like Hinton Waldrist, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
