How new roof snagging works in Horsleys Green
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. If you are worried about cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Horsleys Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. 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 seven days a week.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What we’re asked to look at in Horsleys Green
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Poorly finished verges
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you own a rental within reach of Saunderton station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Before you book anyone
- What experience they bring
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone

Questions from Horsleys Green
How do I find out if my home in Horsleys Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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 Horsleys Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Horsleys Green is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Details hidden from sight
- Pricing the remedial work
- A promise that the roof will not leak
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.

New roof snagging around Horsleys Green
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With West Wycombe Park House about 2.7 miles east, Horsleys Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
