About our new roof snagging in Wexham Street
Our snagging inspections cover Wexham Street and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where it applies. You then get a report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about gaps at new flashings and poorly finished verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new-build homes alike.
For a small place like Wexham Street, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
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.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Wexham Street
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Landlords with a home close to Slough station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Is VAT included in the price?
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Local roofs and buyers in Wexham Street
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. About 4.3 miles south lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Wexham Street has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to St Andrew's Church Centre: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Wexham Street
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where it applies. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wexham Street can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

The survey normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Wexham Street, access is usually the main thing to plan.

- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.

Wexham Street: your questions answered
Is my home in Wexham Street listed or in a conservation area?
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 Wexham Street?
Yes, Wexham Street is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
