New roof snagging in Peasemore, West Berkshire
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in Peasemore, with photographs and a written report.
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Peasemore frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
New roof snagging in Peasemore
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photographs that you can pass to your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about broken coverings left on a new roof and flashings not properly dressed or fixed.
Being in a small place like Peasemore makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What we cannot see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Details hidden from sight
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles

Landlords, agents and block managers in Peasemore
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Why get it checked now?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Around Peasemore, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs or what we found on two real jobs.
Roof by roof
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
When to book a survey in Peasemore
Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gaps at new flashings
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
Take an older house close to Church of St Barnabas: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How long the report takes to arrive

Your questions about new roof snagging in Peasemore
Do you cover Peasemore?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Peasemore is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Peasemore is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Local roofs and buyers in Peasemore
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For any home in Peasemore, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
