New roof snagging in Puttenham
Our snagging inspections cover Puttenham and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and new flat roofs, and people most often book us about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.
Somewhere as small as Puttenham, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What you can safely check yourself
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Questions from Puttenham
Will you come out to Puttenham?
Yes. Puttenham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Puttenham?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Puttenham is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We will give you an idea as you book.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Puttenham frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey

What happens if roof problems are left?
Photographs from the ground rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it’s applicable. Outbuildings and barns around Puttenham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Landlords and letting agents in Puttenham book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Common roof problems in Puttenham
Many people book because something does not look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
Look out for signs like these:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the survey won’t cover
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
