How we price new roof snagging
To price your survey, we look at:
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The roof’s overall size
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

New roof snagging in Holyport
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, 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. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you are worried about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Holyport makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them 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 seven days a week.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Holyport, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

Why act early in Holyport
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book us in Holyport
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

Local roofs and buyers in Holyport
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Dorney Court, about 2.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Holyport. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you let a flat or house near Maidenhead station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point, so we look at them closely.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Useful tips for Holyport property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
What this survey cannot tell you
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
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely

Holyport: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Holyport?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Holyport?
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.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
