New roof snagging in Stony Green: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in Stony Green and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new flat roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Stony Green 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. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Stony Green homes and their roofs
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Historic houses such as Hughenden Manor, about 2.7 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Stony Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Around Stony Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Jot down any questions you want answered

When to book a survey in Stony Green
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How we price new roof snagging
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- When you need the report by
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Stony Green questions
Is my home in Stony Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Stony Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Pricing the remedial work
- Details hidden from sight
