How new roof snagging works in Kingston Bagpuize
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage to other parts of the building and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Kingston Bagpuize, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Kingston Bagpuize. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

How we price new roof snagging
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- What made you get in touch
- What kind of property and roof it is
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Keep warranty papers safe
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Kingston Bagpuize
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground before you pay.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Untidy or loose verge details
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What they will not be able to tell you
What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a close look at the new roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Legal advice on your contract
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- Ridges and verges
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Homes around Kingston Bagpuize often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Tell us about parking before the day

Kingston Bagpuize homes and their roofs
With Longworth House about 1.4 miles north-west, Kingston Bagpuize sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Kingston Bagpuize
Do you carry out roof surveys in Kingston Bagpuize?
Yes, Kingston Bagpuize is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Kingston Bagpuize as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Kingston Bagpuize within the area you cover?
Yes, Kingston Bagpuize is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
