New roof snagging in Hunt's Green
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges alike.
Being in a small place like Hunt's Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Hunt's Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Local roofs and buyers in Hunt's Green
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. With Cholesbury Manor House about 2.9 miles north-east, Hunt's 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.
If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Old Church of St John the Baptist, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Common questions in Hunt's Green
Do you cover Hunt's Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Hunt's Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hunt's Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Hunt's Green and across Buckinghamshire can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles as far as can be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check the roof before you pay in full
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
