New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Weald
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. If you are worried about poorly finished verges and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Weald makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Prices for new roof snagging in Weald
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Common questions in Weald
Do you carry out roof surveys in Weald?
Yes, Weald is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Will you come out to Weald?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.

New roof snagging around Weald
Historic houses such as Kelmscott Manor, about 4.2 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Weald goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.

How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there.

Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

What we are asked to look at in Weald
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong, especially when the weather is against them.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it is visible.
Why act early in Weald
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Weald, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
