New roof snagging in Windsor
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about debris left in gutters or valleys and gaps at new flashings.
Windsor is the kind of town where older houses and newer estates sit side by side. Older houses often have slate or clay tiles on timbers that have done decades of work, while many later ones have concrete interlocking tiles. Whether you are buying or have just had a new roof, the checks depend on which you have. What sits under the tiles, from old felt to modern membranes, matters as much as the tiles themselves.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Windsor: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Windsor is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Windsor?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Windsor is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Windsor homes and their roofs
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill, about 1 mile south-west, show how far back building in the area around Windsor goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near All Saints Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. Landlords with a home close to Windsor & Eton Central station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
