New roof snagging in Wokefield: what you get
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We are often asked to look into vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and verge tiles or slates not secured, on new-build homes, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges.
In a village or hamlet like Wokefield, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Wokefield can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What else we do in Wokefield
Leave it or get it looked at?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a place like Wokefield, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

When to book a survey in Wokefield
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
If you let a flat or house near Mortimer station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
What to check before booking
- What the survey will not cover
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
What new roof snagging looks like in Wokefield
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. About 3.4 miles south lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Wokefield has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

What this survey can’t tell you

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
Checking the roof from ground level
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Common questions in Wokefield
Is Wokefield within the area you cover?
Yes. Wokefield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you cover Wokefield?
Yes, Wokefield is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
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 looked at where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How much is new roof snagging?

How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea as you book.
