New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Park Town
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on before the deadline. We’re often asked to look into vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, across ridges and verges, new flat roofs and new-build homes.
Smaller places like Park Town often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from ground level, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. That applies whether you’re buying in Park Town or checking a new roof there. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How we price new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- What made you get in touch
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Tips that help
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for new stains after a downpour
You receive a photo-illustrated written report of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Local roofs and buyers in Park Town
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. About 0.9 miles south-east lies Holywell Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Park Town has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

Park Town questions

Is my home in Park Town listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.

Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Homes around Park Town often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

When to book a survey in Park Town
Most homeowners can’t get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Before booking anyone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How soon the report will arrive
- What happens after the report arrives
Why get it checked now?
Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Park Town, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
