How new roof snagging works in Turnfurlong
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We are often asked to look into damage to other parts of the building and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across ridges and verges, new flat roofs and new-build homes.
Smaller places like Turnfurlong often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. That applies whether you are buying in Turnfurlong or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Turnfurlong homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Holy Trinity, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

What we are asked to look at in Turnfurlong
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Problems we come across often include:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Prices for new roof snagging in Turnfurlong
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What to tell us when you contact us
We’ll usually ask about:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Turnfurlong, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- 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.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
