About our new roof snagging in Remenham
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on before the deadline. We survey new-build homes, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and people most frequently book us about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and verge tiles or slates not secured.
In a village or hamlet like Remenham, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Remenham questions
Will you come out to Remenham?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Remenham listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.

Why get it checked now?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. In a place like Remenham, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- An independent view of the roof

When you need someone else
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- What’s under the new coverings
- Repair costs for putting snags right

Different roofs, different checks
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are looked at closely.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Remenham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Buying a home or a new roof in Remenham
Historic houses like Greenlands, about 1 mile north, show how far back building in the area around Remenham goes. 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. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Nicholas, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. Landlords with a home close to Henley-On-Thames station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
