How new roof snagging works in Streatley
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. We are often asked to look into untidy or loose verge details and underlay at the eaves left exposed, across loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Streatley may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Why act early in Streatley
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Streatley, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we will tell you which fits.

Roof by roof

Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly as far as safe access allows.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Streatley can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey

Do you need new roof snagging in Streatley?
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
If you let a flat or house near Goring & Streatley station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Streatley: your questions answered
Is my home in Streatley listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Streatley?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Streatley is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea when you book.
New roof snagging in Streatley: local notes
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. 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. Basildon Park, about 2.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Streatley. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Streatley is about 7 miles south-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Roofs in Streatley get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Oxfordshire. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.
