New roof snagging in Tingewick: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers, and people most frequently book us about debris left in gutters or valleys and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Older buildings in small places like Tingewick may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves to carry water off. We check it where it is visible.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. They get close attention.
What this survey can’t tell you
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- What’s under the new coverings
- Repair costs for putting snags right

Local roofs and buyers in Tingewick
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’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. Historic houses such as Stowe House, about 3.1 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Tingewick goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Tingewick
Do you cover Tingewick?
Yes, Tingewick is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I find out if my home in Tingewick is listed?
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.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photos to raise with the builder.
Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check before your warranty period ends
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Tingewick, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Signs you need new roof snagging in Tingewick
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Magdalen, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Before you book anyone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
