New roof snagging in Jealott's Hill
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and people most frequently book us about gaps at new flashings and debris left in gutters or valleys.
Some older homes in villages like Jealott's Hill are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Buying a home or a new roof in Jealott's Hill
St Leonard's Hill, about 4.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Jealott's Hill. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

How the survey works

- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Questions from Jealott's Hill
Is my home in Jealott's Hill listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Jealott's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
What this survey can’t tell you
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Legal advice on your contract
- Details hidden from sight
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
