About our new roof snagging in Pyrton
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed broken coverings left on a new roof and poorly finished verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Pyrton 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 are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local roofs and buyers in Pyrton
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. The wider area around Pyrton has a long history of building, with Adwell House about 2.5 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Pyrton is about 6 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. From houses to flats and shops in Pyrton, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Pyrton is one of the towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. We also survey roofs in Oxford.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Pyrton, access is usually 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 ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Useful tips for Pyrton property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Book snagging before the final payment
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Pyrton questions
Is Pyrton in the area you cover?
Yes, Pyrton is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Pyrton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Pyrton?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a small place like Pyrton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How we price new roof snagging
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
