New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Wick Hill
Our snagging inspections cover Wick Hill and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Common reasons to book are vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and gutters blocked by building debris, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
Houses in smaller places like Wick Hill can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a close look. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Questions from Wick Hill
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Wick Hill be checked too?
Frequently, yes, so mention it when booking. Many homes in new towns like Bracknell have flat-roofed garages and porches, and felt roofs often last around 15–20 years.
How do I find out if my home in Wick Hill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long will you be on site?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you work in Wick Hill?
Yes. We cover Wick Hill and the rest of Bracknell Forest, as part of our work across London and South East England. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is checked where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Local roofs and buyers in Wick Hill
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Wick Hill is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Low pitches, ageing concrete tiles and old flat roofs each have their own weak points, worth knowing before you commit.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Holy Trinity Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. For landlords with property near Bracknell station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What else we do in Wick Hill
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Wick Hill, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Booking a survey
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Prices for new roof snagging in Wick Hill

Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The address and postcode of the property

Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Blocked gutters on homes around Wick Hill overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why book with us
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- An independent view of the roof
