About our new roof snagging in Woolhampton
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. Common reasons to book are missing or blocked roof ventilation and underlay at the eaves left exposed, on replacement roofs, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
For a small place like Woolhampton, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Woolhampton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

New roof snagging around Woolhampton
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Woolhampton
Do you carry out roof surveys in Woolhampton?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Woolhampton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Woolhampton is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.

When to book a survey in Woolhampton
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their report turnaround times
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Why get it checked now?
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where applicable. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
