About our new roof snagging in Wierton
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey new-build homes, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and gaps at new flashings.
Older buildings in small places like Wierton may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
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.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Wierton
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. Older and listed buildings around Wierton may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Wierton can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey

What we are asked to look at in Wierton
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces frequently end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Wierton: your questions answered
Is my home in Wierton listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Wierton within the area you cover?
Yes, Wierton is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
