About our new roof snagging in Wheatley
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’re worried about gaps at new flashings and gutters blocked by building debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
In a smaller place like Wheatley, some houses face open ground, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather usually shows first. Whether you’re buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a proper look. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Wheatley, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Why act early in Wheatley
Photos from ground level rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it’s applicable. Around Wheatley, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
Buying a home or a new roof in Wheatley
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Garsington Manor, about 2.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wheatley. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
Wheatley: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Wheatley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Wheatley is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What affects the price in Wheatley
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- House, block, shop or office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
