What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How big the roof is

- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
About our new roof snagging in Tring
Our snagging inspections cover Tring and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Common reasons to book are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, across flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and new flat roofs.
Houses in smaller places like Tring can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

New roof snagging around Tring
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Cholesbury Manor House, about 2.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tring. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Tring station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Tring
Is Tring within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is my home in Tring 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.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
You receive a photo-illustrated written report of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Being in a smaller place like Tring does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Tell us where we can park nearby
How to book
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know the cost up front. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Common roof problems in Tring
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter St Paul (church of England), the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point
