New roof snagging in Worplesdon
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. It all goes in the report. We survey new-build homes, replacement roofs and new flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
In a village or hamlet like Worplesdon, 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. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Worplesdon
Is Worplesdon in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Worplesdon listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, 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 we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Worplesdon, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Worplesdon
Most homeowners cannot get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground before you pay.
People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Gaps at new flashings
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their insurance cover
- How soon the report will arrive
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a proper look.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- What’s under the new coverings
- Details hidden from sight
- Pricing the remedial work
