New roof snagging in Terriers
We carry out new roof snagging in Terriers and across London and the South East. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Common reasons to book are broken coverings left on a new roof and signs of condensation in the roof space, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
In a smaller place like Terriers, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

New roof snagging in Terriers: local notes
With Hughenden Manor about 1.1 miles north-west, Terriers sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
For landlords with property near High Wycombe station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong, so we check them carefully.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Terriers
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
What we are asked to look at in Terriers
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Gutters blocked by building debris
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of Saint Francis, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. In an older home around Terriers, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Why us?
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- Surveys seven days a week
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

FAQs for Terriers
Do you cover smaller places like Terriers?
Yes, Terriers is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is my home in Terriers listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.

What else we do in Terriers
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a smaller place like Terriers, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
