About our new roof snagging in Poundon
Our snagging inspections cover Poundon and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We are often asked to look into debris left in gutters or valleys and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Poundon may be listed or 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 are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Common questions in Poundon
Is my home in Poundon listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Poundon within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.

About 4.5 miles east lies Claydon House, a reminder of how long the area around Poundon has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates.
