Common questions in Rowsham
How do I find out if my home in Rowsham is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Rowsham?
Yes, Rowsham is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
About our new roof snagging in Rowsham
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey new flat roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are debris left in gutters or valleys and flashings not properly dressed or fixed.
Some older homes in villages like Rowsham 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’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Do you need new roof snagging in Rowsham?
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Poorly finished verges
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their insurance cover
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Rowsham, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What this survey cannot tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers

Prices for new roof snagging in Rowsham

- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets

- Height and safe access

What we need to know
