About our new roof snagging in Pond Park
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. If you’re worried about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges alike.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Pond Park, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. That applies whether you’re buying in Pond Park or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
Most points in the report come with a picture, 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 affects the cost of new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Pond Park is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Related advice
Do you need new roof snagging in Pond Park?
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong, especially when the weather is against them.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Gaps at new flashings
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
Landlords with a home close to Amersham station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their insurance cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so a new slate roof should be laid well. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
FAQs for Pond Park
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pond Park?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Pond Park?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Pond Park is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.

What new roof snagging looks like in Pond Park
Historic houses such as Cholesbury Manor House, about 3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Pond Park goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
