How we price new roof snagging

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:

  • Which survey package you book
  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
  • Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
  • Height and safe access

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.

Helping us price your survey

We’ll typically ask about:

  • The address and postcode of the property
  • Where water is showing inside, if it is
  • What made you get in touch
  • How the loft is reached, if there is one

Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.

New roof snagging in Iver: what you get

Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps at new flashings and missing or blocked roof ventilation.

Being in a small place like Iver 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 when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.

After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Leave it or get it looked at?

Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Outbuildings and barns around Iver are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

What we do, step by step

Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Iver frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.

  1. First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
  2. We inspect as far as safe access allows.
  3. We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
  4. Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
  5. You receive a report to share with your roofer.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking near the property
  • Note where any stains or damp appear
  • Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Booking a survey

Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Advice

DIY checks: what’s safe

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

New roof snagging around Iver

About 4.1 miles north-east lies Ickenham Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Iver has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.

Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. For landlords with property near Iver station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Useful tips for Iver property owners

Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:

  • Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
  • Put any issues to your roofer in writing
  • Check the roof before you pay in full
  • Keep warranty papers safe

Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.

Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.

FAQs for Iver

How do I find out if my home in Iver is listed?

Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.

Is Iver within the area you cover?

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 helps to know about access.

How do I book a survey in Iver?

It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey seven days a week.

Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?

Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.

Can you survey at the weekend?

Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Is this an asbestos survey?

No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.

What do you check on a new roof?

Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
