How new roof snagging works in Moreton
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and broken coverings left on a new roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Moreton 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 are buying or signing off new roofing, it is 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.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Moreton
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Moreton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Prices that include VAT

What this survey can’t tell you
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Legal advice on your contract
- Estimates of what fixes will cost

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
New roof snagging in Moreton: local notes
Adwell House, about 3.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Moreton. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.

What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s 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 between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Moreton, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Related advice
Do you need new roof snagging in Moreton?
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will the report include photos?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Common questions in Moreton
Is my home in Moreton listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Moreton?
Yes, Moreton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Moreton as anywhere else.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
