About our new roof snagging in White Waltham
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you are worried about underlay not dressed into the gutter and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like White Waltham, 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, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

White Waltham questions
Will you come out to White Waltham?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you carry out roof surveys in White Waltham?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and White Waltham is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
How do I book a survey in White Waltham?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
White Waltham homes and their roofs
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, 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. With Dorney Court about 4.6 miles east, White Waltham sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Do you need new roof snagging in White Waltham?
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, particularly when the weather is against them.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Gaps at new flashings
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
For landlords with property near Maidenhead station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What the survey will not cover
- Their track record with similar roofs
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect about one to two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near White Waltham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
