New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Holme Green
Our report records what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and new flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and underlay ending short at the eaves.
For a small place like Holme Green, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when 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 any day of the week.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

New roof snagging around Holme Green
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you let a flat or house near Wokingham station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Holme Green
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
For an older house near a landmark like St Sebastian's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
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 the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

FAQs for Holme Green
How do I find out if my home in Holme Green is listed?
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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Holme Green?
Yes, Holme Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How long will you be on site?
It usually takes between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Holme Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First, you tell us 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 the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
