About our new roof snagging in Penn
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’re worried about signs of condensation in the roof space and underlay at the eaves left exposed, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Penn makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. 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. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Questions from Penn
Is Penn within the area you cover?

Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We don’t open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.

A visit normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Local roofs and buyers in Penn
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses such as Hughenden Manor, about 2.9 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Penn goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like Church of St Margaret are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Penn, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
