How new roof snagging works in Walton Court
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and new flat roofs, and people most often book us about tiles or slates sitting out of line and loose or badly finished ridge tiles.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Walton Court, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Low roofs are easier to see from ground level, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. That applies whether you are buying in Walton Court or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to Walton Court is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Before the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Walton Court
Do you cover smaller places like Walton Court?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Walton Court in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Walton Court is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.

Why act early in Walton Court
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. In a smaller place like Walton Court, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What you get with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Package prices that include VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Legal advice on your contract

- Loft conversions and dormers

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Walton Court
Most homeowners can’t get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from the ground before you pay.
Look out for signs like these:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Gaps at new flashings
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
For landlords with property near Aylesbury station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Buying a home or a new roof in Walton Court
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
Take an older house close to Church of the Good Shepherd: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
