How new roof snagging works in Ufton Green
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work 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 does set out clearly what we found. If you’re worried about untidy or loose verge details and broken coverings left on a new roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Some older homes in villages like Ufton Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Buying a home or a new roof in Ufton Green
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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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 live in an older home near Church of St Peter, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Aldermaston station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Ufton Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

FAQs for Ufton Green
Is Ufton Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Ufton Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Ufton Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Ufton Green as anywhere else.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How do I book a survey in Ufton Green?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
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.
