About our new roof snagging in Moulsford
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed gutters blocked by building debris and signs of condensation in the roof space, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges alike.
Older buildings in small places like Moulsford 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Moulsford
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong particularly in poor weather.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
For landlords with property near Cholsey station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
New roof snagging around Moulsford
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East frequently 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. The wider area around Moulsford has a long history of building, with Basildon Park about 3.9 miles south. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Moulsford, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

FAQs for Moulsford
Is Moulsford within the area you cover?
Yes, Moulsford is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you cover Moulsford?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Moulsford is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs from safe vantage points.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Keep the contract and invoices together
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. In a small place like Moulsford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
