About our new roof snagging in Sulhamstead
Our snagging inspections cover Sulhamstead and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a report with photographs. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and debris left in gutters or valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Sulhamstead, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Sulhamstead can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Questions from Sulhamstead
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sulhamstead?
Yes, Sulhamstead is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Sulhamstead listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Sulhamstead
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the new roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Do you need new roof snagging in Sulhamstead?
Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Questions to ask before booking
- When you’ll get the report
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
What you can safely check yourself
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
New roof snagging around Sulhamstead
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you own a rental within reach of Theale station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
