How we price new roof snagging
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

New roof snagging in Rose Hill
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey new-build homes, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about underlay at the eaves left exposed and untidy or loose verge details.
In a village or hamlet like Rose Hill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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, 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.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can safely be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Rose Hill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Keep pets in another room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Buying a home or a new roof in Rose Hill
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. Historic houses like Cliveden, about 1 mile north-west, show how far back building in the area around Rose Hill goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Rose Hill is about 3 miles north-east of Maidenhead, in Slough. We survey roofs in Rose Hill and the rest of Slough. Our Slough coverage includes Rose Hill and the places around it. Our Reading page covers surveys nearby.

Rose Hill questions
Is my home in Rose Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rose Hill?
Yes, Rose Hill is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Rose Hill as anywhere else.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we can’t see
A survey is a close look at the new roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
- Ridges and verges
What we’re asked to look at in Rose Hill
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you let a flat or house near Taplow station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check before your warranty period ends
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
