New roof snagging in Maids Moreton
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’ve noticed offcuts and broken tiles left behind and tiles or slates sitting out of line, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Maids Moreton, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Maids Moreton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Maids Moreton questions
Is Maids Moreton in the area you cover?
Yes, Maids Moreton is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Maids Moreton?
Yes, Maids Moreton is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is checked where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How do I book a survey in Maids Moreton?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. 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. For older village homes like those around Maids Moreton, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

- Signs of condensation in the roof space

Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
