New roof snagging in Little Easton
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy or loose verge details and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Older buildings in small places like Little Easton may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why act early in Little Easton
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Around Little Easton, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

Little Easton questions
Do you cover Little Easton?
Yes, Little Easton is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Little Easton?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you need new roof snagging in Little Easton?
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong particularly in poor weather.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before you book

- When you’ll get the report
- Their insurance cover
- What happens after the report arrives

The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Little Easton, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check we can get to the back of the property
