How new roof snagging works in South Weston
Our snagging inspections cover South Weston and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Typical surveys look at flashings not properly dressed or fixed and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, across ridges and verges, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
Being in a small place like South Weston makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

FAQs for South Weston
Is my home in South Weston listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like South Weston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in South Weston?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
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.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near South Weston can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Advice
New roof snagging in South Weston: local notes
Adwell House, about 0.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around South Weston. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. 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.

Do you need new roof snagging in South Weston?
Flashings are a common source of snags. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you live in an older home near St Lawrence, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
Why it is worth a survey now in South Weston
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. In a place like South Weston, 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.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We look at it where it can be seen.
