Questions from Upper Eddington
How do I find out if my home in Upper Eddington is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Upper Eddington in the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Eddington is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Upper Eddington?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
About our new roof snagging in Upper Eddington
Our snagging inspections cover Upper Eddington and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed loose or badly finished ridge tiles and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes alike.
Some older homes in villages like Upper Eddington are listed or sit 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local roofs and buyers in Upper Eddington
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you live in an older home near Hungerford Methodist Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.

Do you need new roof snagging in Upper Eddington?
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
If you own a rental within reach of Hungerford station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
