How new roof snagging works in Moss End
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. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you are worried about verge tiles or slates not secured and gaps at new flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs alike.
Being in a small place like Moss End makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Moss End, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Questions from Moss End
Do you cover Moss End?
Yes, Moss End is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Moss End?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
When to book a survey in Moss End
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
For landlords with property near Bracknell station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Their insurance cover
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Why get it checked now?
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. For older village homes like those around Moss End, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

New roof snagging in Moss End: local notes
The wider area around Moss End has a long history of building, with St Leonard's Hill about 4.5 miles east. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
