About our new roof snagging in Letcombe Regis
We carry out new roof snagging in Letcombe Regis and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where it applies. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey new-build homes, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and gutters blocked by building debris.
Being in a small place like Letcombe Regis 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 booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Letcombe Regis: your questions answered
Is Letcombe Regis in the area you cover?
Yes, Letcombe Regis is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Letcombe Regis as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Letcombe Regis?
Yes, Letcombe Regis is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Letcombe Regis, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Why act early in Letcombe Regis
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Around Letcombe Regis, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book with us
- Visits on any day of the week
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT

Landlord and commercial surveys in Letcombe Regis
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Buying a home or a new roof in Letcombe Regis
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
