Local roofs and buyers in Hungerford
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Landlords with a home close to Twyford station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For any home in Hungerford, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

New roof snagging in Hungerford: what you get
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and people most frequently book us about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Somewhere as small as Hungerford, 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. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Hungerford
Is my home in Hungerford listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Hungerford?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Hungerford is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
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 booking.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.

Useful tips for Hungerford property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
You receive a written report with photographs of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces 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
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.

How we price new roof snagging
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Which survey package you book
- Height and safe access
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What’s prompted the survey
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Raising snags before the final payment is typically simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In a small place like Hungerford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
