New roof snagging in Stoke Poges: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in Stoke Poges and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. You then get a report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Typical surveys look at underlay at the eaves left exposed and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, across replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs.
In a smaller place like Stoke Poges, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather typically shows first. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a proper look. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Stoke Poges homes and their roofs
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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With Windsor Castle about 4.3 miles south, Stoke Poges sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church like St Andrew's Church Centre are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Questions from Stoke Poges
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stoke Poges?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Stoke Poges?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stoke Poges is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Stoke Poges?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
What this survey can’t tell you
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Details hidden from sight
- Repair costs for putting snags right
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

What affects the price in Stoke Poges
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. A visit to a smaller place like Stoke Poges is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- 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
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
