New roof snagging in Rush Green, Buckinghamshire
New roof snagging in Rush Green and the rest of Buckinghamshire. We survey on any day of the week.
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gaps at new flashings
Why it’s worth a survey now in Rush Green
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Around Rush Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

How new roof snagging works in Rush Green
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. You then get a report with photos to share with your roofer. We are often asked to look into untidy or loose verge details and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, on loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and new flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Rush Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What else we do in Rush Green
Your questions about new roof snagging in Rush Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rush Green?
Yes, Rush Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Rush Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is checked where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a close look at the new roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Details hidden from sight
- Whether the roof will leak in future
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

What we look for on each type of roof

New roof snagging in Rush Green: local notes
About 3.2 miles east lies Ickenham Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Rush Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Take an older house close to St Francis: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Common roof problems in Rush Green
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Gaps at new flashings
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Gutters blocked by building debris
For landlords with property near Denham Golf Club station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Useful tips for Rush Green property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Keep the contract and invoices together
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it is right.
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Rush Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- 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.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
