New roof snagging in Parslow's Hillock
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed flashings not properly dressed or fixed and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys alike.
In a village or hamlet like Parslow's Hillock, 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. 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. 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.

The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Parslow's Hillock, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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 checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

New roof snagging around Parslow's Hillock
With Hughenden Manor about 4.6 miles south-east, Parslow's Hillock sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Landlords with a home close to Princes Risborough station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
