How new roof snagging works in Whistley Green
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and underlay not dressed into the gutter.
For a small place like Whistley Green, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
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 photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Why it is worth a survey now in Whistley Green
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Around Whistley Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

What new roof snagging looks like in Whistley Green
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
For any home in Whistley Green, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Questions from Whistley Green
Do you cover smaller places like Whistley Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Whistley Green is listed?
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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
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. We note what couldn’t be seen.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Whistley Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
