New roof snagging in Midgham Green: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you are worried about broken coverings left on a new roof and missing or blocked roof ventilation, we can find out what’s behind it, on new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Older buildings in small places like Midgham Green 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. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers

How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Midgham Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Local roofs and buyers in Midgham Green
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Matthew are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Midgham station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
What you can safely check yourself

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
