About our new roof snagging in Middlegreen
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags frequently show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We survey replacement roofs, ridges and verges and new flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay ending short at the eaves and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.
In a village or hamlet like Middlegreen, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What affects the price in Middlegreen
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Useful tips for Middlegreen property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Middlegreen
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.

Middlegreen questions
Is Middlegreen in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Middlegreen as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Middlegreen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Buying a home or a new roof in Middlegreen
About 2.8 miles south-west lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Middlegreen has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Landlords with a home close to Langley station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary the Virgin Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Why act early in Middlegreen
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. For an older or listed building in a place like Middlegreen, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Middlegreen often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
