New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Old Warren
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Typical surveys look at tiles or slates sitting out of line and poorly finished verges, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
For a small place like Old Warren, the visit is planned like any other: 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. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

FAQs for Old Warren
Is Old Warren within the area you cover?
Yes, Old Warren is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Old Warren?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Old Warren as anywhere else.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Old Warren?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
When to book a survey in Old Warren
Most homeowners cannot get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St.Saviours: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before you book anyone
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
What we do, step by step
Photographs 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. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Old Warren can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- 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 is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. For older village homes like those around Old Warren, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us

Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
