What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Legal advice on your contract
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Pitch Green
We carry out new roof snagging in Pitch Green and across London and the South East. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
In a village or hamlet like Pitch Green, 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. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we look at them carefully.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
When to book a survey in Pitch Green
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you own a rental within reach of Princes Risborough station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
What to check before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the survey won’t cover
Pitch Green homes and their roofs
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Holy Trinity, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

FAQs for Pitch Green
Is Pitch Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Pitch Green as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Pitch Green?
Yes, Pitch Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
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.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Pitch Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
