New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Nuneham Courtenay
We carry out new roof snagging in Nuneham Courtenay and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Nuneham Courtenay, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
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.

Nuneham Courtenay homes and their roofs
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. About 2.3 miles south lies Clifton Hampden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Nuneham Courtenay has been built on. 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 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 Peter, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you let a flat or house near Radley station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Why act early in Nuneham Courtenay
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nuneham Courtenay can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What new roof snagging does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:

- Legal advice on your contract
- How the roof will perform for years to come

Nuneham Courtenay: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Nuneham Courtenay is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Nuneham Courtenay?
Yes. Nuneham Courtenay is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
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.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Nuneham Courtenay can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- 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
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Useful tips for Nuneham Courtenay property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Check before your warranty period ends
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
