New roof snagging in Three Mile Cross
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a report with photographs that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are verge tiles or slates not secured and signs of condensation in the roof space.
Some older homes in villages like Three Mile Cross are listed or sit 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 is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Three Mile Cross
Is Three Mile Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is my home in Three Mile Cross listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We don’t open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
For landlords and managing agents
Landlords and agents in Three Mile Cross book surveys as well as householders. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the new roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
New roof snagging around Three Mile Cross
Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House, about 4 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Three Mile Cross goes. 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. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you live in an older home near St Michael and All Angels, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Reading Green Park station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Why get it checked now?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Three Mile Cross, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the exact price before booking.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
You receive a photo-illustrated written report of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Three Mile Cross, 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.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
