How new roof snagging works in Padbury
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on in good time. If you’re worried about loose flashings at walls or chimneys and signs of condensation in the roof space, we can find out what’s behind it, on new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges alike.
Somewhere as small as Padbury, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs from safe vantage points.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Padbury
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Local roofs and buyers in Padbury
The wider area around Padbury has a long history of building, with Claydon House about 3.3 miles south. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Common questions in Padbury
Do you cover Padbury?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Padbury?
Yes, Padbury is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Will you check every nail and clip?
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.
How do I book a survey in Padbury?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. In a place like Padbury, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Padbury frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Check pets are kept safely away
