About our new roof snagging in Spurlands End
We carry out new roof snagging in Spurlands End and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We are frequently asked to look into loose or badly finished ridge tiles and untidy or loose verge details, on flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and new-build homes.
Older buildings in small places like Spurlands End may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Common roof problems in Spurlands End
Flashings are a common source of snags. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Poorly finished verges
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of the Good Shepherd, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to let us know when you get in touch
We’ll typically ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
What new roof snagging looks like in Spurlands End
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 2.5 miles south-west lies Hughenden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Spurlands End has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Great Missenden station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
