What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Stoke Hammond, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room

New roof snagging in Stoke Hammond
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey new-build homes, ridges and verges and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters blocked by building debris and loose or badly finished ridge tiles.
Being in a small place like Stoke Hammond 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 you book, 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 seven days a week.
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.

Stoke Hammond: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stoke Hammond?
Yes, Stoke Hammond is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Stoke Hammond is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.

Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Stoke Hammond
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What we can’t see
It is a careful look at the new roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
