Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
About our new roof snagging in Stokenchurch
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on before the deadline. If you’ve noticed missing or blocked roof ventilation and damage to other parts of the building, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Stokenchurch, some houses face open ground, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather usually shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are looked at closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Blocked gutters on homes around Stokenchurch overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.

Buying a home or a new roof in Stokenchurch
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses like West Wycombe Park House, about 4.2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Stokenchurch goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you own a rental within reach of Saunderton station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Stokenchurch Methodist Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Questions from Stokenchurch
Is Stokenchurch within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is Stokenchurch in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
What do you check on a new roof?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. We note anything left behind.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks, so we check them closely.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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. Do not go up yourself.
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Homes around Stokenchurch often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
