About our new roof snagging in Iver Heath
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We’re often asked to look into gutters blocked by building debris and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Around Iver Heath, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Questions from Iver Heath
Will you come out to Iver Heath?
Yes, Iver Heath is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Iver Heath listed or in a conservation area?
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 it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How do I book a survey in Iver Heath?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a smaller place like Iver Heath, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- House, block, shop or office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Do you need new roof snagging in Iver Heath?
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Poorly finished verges
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
Landlords with a home close to Iver station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
Local roofs and buyers in Iver Heath
The wider area around Iver Heath has a long history of building, with Ickenham Hall about 3.9 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
