Questions from Pitchcott
Do you cover smaller places like Pitchcott?
Yes, Pitchcott is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Pitchcott listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
New roof snagging in Pitchcott: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We’re frequently asked to look into loose or badly finished ridge tiles and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, on loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
Some older homes in villages like Pitchcott are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Pitchcott, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree what to focus on, like 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.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Getting a price
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Local roofs and buyers in Pitchcott
Waddesdon Manor, about 3.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pitchcott. 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. Take an older house close to Church of St. Giles: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

How we price new roof snagging
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Roof area
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
We will usually ask about:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Pitchcott
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. For older village homes like those around Pitchcott, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
