New roof snagging in Nether Worton: what you get
Our report records what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you are worried about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Nether Worton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

New roof snagging around Nether Worton
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Holy Trinity, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Letting agents and landlords in Nether Worton book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photographs.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Nether Worton: your questions answered
Is Nether Worton in the area you cover?
Yes, Nether Worton is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Nether Worton?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is 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 price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Keep warranty papers safe
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Nether Worton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
