What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
New roof snagging in Stone in Oxney: what you get
Our snagging inspections cover Stone in Oxney and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey ridges and verges, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and people most frequently book us about missing or blocked roof ventilation and verge tiles or slates not secured.
Somewhere as small as Stone in Oxney, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.

FAQs for Stone in Oxney
Is Stone in Oxney within the area you cover?
Yes, Stone in Oxney is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stone in Oxney?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

When to book a survey in Stone in Oxney
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
Common reasons to book include:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
