About our new roof snagging in Holmer Green
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay at the eaves left exposed and untidy or loose verge details.
In a smaller place like Holmer Green, some houses face open ground, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a proper look. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a smaller place like Holmer Green, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
Questions from Holmer Green
Will you come out to Holmer Green?
Yes, Holmer Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Holmer Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- What’s under the new coverings
- Legal advice on your contract

New roof snagging around Holmer Green
Historic houses such as Hughenden Manor, about 2.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Holmer Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
The streets around a church like Christ Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

When to book a survey in Holmer Green
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Poorly finished verges
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
If you own a rental within reach of Great Missenden station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- When you will get the report
- Their track record with similar roofs
Leave it or get it looked at?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. Homes in smaller places like Holmer Green can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why us?
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- An independent look at the roof

How we price new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- House, block, shop or office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The property’s address and postcode
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so there is time to raise anything.
