Turville New Roof Snagging
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Turville and the rest of Oxfordshire. We survey seven days a week.
- Gaps at new flashings
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Damage to other parts of the building
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
New roof snagging in Turville
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed gutters blocked by building debris and verge tiles or slates not secured, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Turville, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What new roof snagging looks like in Turville
With Stonor Park about 2 miles south-west, Turville sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Turville is about 6 miles north-west of Marlow, in Oxfordshire. If you’re in Turville, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire, large and small. Reading is in our area too.

Common roof problems in Turville
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price

Turville: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Turville is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Turville?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Turville is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t 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.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Turville often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are checked.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The shape of the roof and its details
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Useful tips for Turville property owners

- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill

Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
