New roof snagging in Wigginton
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. We survey loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are signs of condensation in the roof space and verge tiles or slates not secured.
Being in a small place like Wigginton makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What we are asked to look at in Wigginton
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces frequently end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Poorly finished verges
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of Saint Giles, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which limits apply to the survey
Wigginton homes and their roofs
Historic houses like Broughton Castle, about 3.5 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Wigginton goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.

Questions from Wigginton
Do you cover Wigginton?
Yes, Wigginton is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Wigginton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
What affects the price in Wigginton
We confirm the price for the job before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Wigginton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
