New roof snagging in Wildridings
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are underlay not dressed into the gutter and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
Smaller places like Wildridings often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Wildridings. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Wildridings questions
Is Wildridings within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wildridings?
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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We don’t open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.

Common roof problems in Wildridings
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Poorly finished verges
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you live in an older home near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Look for new stains after a downpour
You receive a written report with photographs of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
- The size of the roof
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Anything about access we should know
- What’s prompted the survey
- What kind of property and roof it is
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded where we can see them.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a careful look.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Wildridings, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

New roof snagging in Wildridings: local notes
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
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.
