New roof snagging in Littlefield Green, Windsor and Maidenhead
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Littlefield Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
Checking the roof from the ground
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
New roof snagging in Littlefield Green: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished 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 replacement roofs, and people most frequently book us about debris left in gutters or valleys and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
In a village or hamlet like Littlefield Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Littlefield Green homes and their roofs
About 4.3 miles north-east lies Dorney Court, a reminder of how long the area around Littlefield Green has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you own a rental within reach of Maidenhead station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Littlefield Green, 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.
- 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.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Check we can get to the back of the property
How to book
