New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Tinkers Cross
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey new-build homes, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about broken coverings left on a new roof and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
Older buildings in small places like Tinkers Cross may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Why get it checked now?
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. In a small place like Tinkers Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Why book with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable

New roof snagging in Tinkers Cross: local notes

Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. The wider area around Tinkers Cross has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 2.2 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Around Tinkers Cross, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

How we price new roof snagging
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Which survey package you book
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it can be seen.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Tinkers Cross can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking near the property

Related advice
Tinkers Cross: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Tinkers Cross is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Tinkers Cross in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Tinkers Cross as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
How long will you be on site?
It usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea when booking.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
