Hunton Bridge: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hunton Bridge?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Hunton Bridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Hunton Bridge is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
How do I book a survey in Hunton Bridge?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
About our new roof snagging in Hunton Bridge
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photographs that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are debris left in gutters or valleys and loose flashings at walls or chimneys.
In a village or hamlet like Hunton Bridge, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Keep warranty papers safe
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Hunton Bridge can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets in another room

When to book a survey in Hunton Bridge
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
Take an older house close to Church of St Paul: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
