New roof snagging in Moulsoe: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a photo-illustrated written report that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Common reasons to book are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, across new flat roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Moulsoe may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

When to book a survey in Moulsoe
Most householders cannot get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Questions to ask before you book
- What exactly goes into their report
- Their report turnaround times
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their track record with similar roofs

What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older rural homes like those around Moulsoe can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
You receive a photo-illustrated written report of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
What new roof snagging looks like in Moulsoe
The wider area around Moulsoe has a long history of building, with Linford Manor about 3.4 miles west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like 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, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Landlords with a home close to Woburn Sands station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:

- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

To get a price for new roof snagging in Moulsoe, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The address, the type of property and what you want to find out help us price the survey accurately.
Why get it checked now?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where applicable. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Moulsoe: your questions answered
Is Moulsoe in the area you cover?
Yes, Moulsoe is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Moulsoe listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are 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.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
