New roof snagging in Littleton
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey new flat roofs, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay not dressed into the gutter and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Older buildings in small places like Littleton may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Littleton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- 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 we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.

Before and after the survey

- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected

- Keep warranty papers safe
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings often show up on new roofs. We photograph any we find.
When to book a survey in Littleton
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary Magdalene are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before booking anyone

- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection

Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
