Roof by roof
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
How new roof snagging works in Tiddington
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’ve noticed gaps at new flashings and damage to other parts of the building, we can find out what’s behind it, on replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Being in a small place like Tiddington makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Tiddington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Why act early in Tiddington
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Around Tiddington, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

New roof snagging in Tiddington: local notes
The wider area around Tiddington has a long history of building, with Adwell House about 4.5 miles south-east. 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. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Helen, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

FAQs for Tiddington
Do you cover Tiddington?
Yes, Tiddington is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you come out to Tiddington?
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 you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
