Shottesbrooke homes and their roofs
About 4.7 miles north lies Harleyford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Shottesbrooke has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

About our new roof snagging in Shottesbrooke
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We’re frequently asked to look into missing or blocked roof ventilation and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like Shottesbrooke makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we are asked to look at in Shottesbrooke
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Fiddly details are frequently where things go wrong, particularly when the weather is against them.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
If you own a rental within reach of Twyford station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Shottesbrooke needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price

Advice
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Shottesbrooke
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
Leave it or get it looked at?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
